Energy Drain Right Before I Play
(I am not really sure if this is the place to put this so Mods feel free to move it)
The last few months right before I start to play poker I get this energy drain where it feels like I could fall asleep. It really comes on sudden, and only when I'm about to play poker. I could have slept 8 hours and got up 2 hours before I play and I get the same feeling. It makes it hard to put in the hours when half the time I have to take a nap. I'm 21, I shouldn't need a nap all the time when I sleep fine at night. Anyone else get this? or knows whats causing me to have a massive energy drain right before I play? I have been thinking about getting caffeine pills and take them before I play. Not sure if this is a good idea or not. |

It's probably chemical.
IE- Your brain chemistry is getting ready for the gamb00l-induced endorphin rush... Who knows? Do I look like a brain surgeon to you? |

Instead of taking a nap you should make a short walk outside in fresh air or splash some cold water in your face.
Taking caffeine pills is fighting the symptoms and is not constructive, so that's not a good idea. |

Watch the sugar. It spikes your energy level then you get some major lows for hours on end.

It is probably just nerves. Not that you are scared to play, but that you might get a little excited to play. I have this issue as well sometimes, but it goes away after a while.

Re: Energy Drain Right Before I Play
OP that's wierd, I have basically the same problem. Usually what does it for me is I immediately stop what I'm doing and open some tables up. Once I get dealt a few hands and get into grinding mode the sleepy feeling goes away.
I've taken caffiene pills and they only help me moderately. Adderall actually helps a lot if you can get it. I'm thinking of trying some redbull out and see if it helps me. |
