I try to take half an hour off from poker before going to bed, have some hot chocolate or something like that

[/ QUOTE ]

Try sipping something without caffeine, my friend.

Since when does hot chocolate have caffeine?

It appears my mother may have been lying to me all my life. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Chocolate does not contain Caffeine

[/ QUOTE ]

did you read the site you linked? it doesnt have caffein, but it has another stimulant in it (not as strong, but stays in yoru system longer). So, hot chocolate before bed is still probably not a good idea.

When I first started playing this happened to me too. The more final tables you make, the less it'll effect you. Just keep doing well and then winning 10 g's is just another night.

I drink a ton of Jack Daniels. Take a few shots- if you can't sleep, take a few more. Rinse and repeat.

Go to GNC, ask for melatonin. Seriously.

This is the correct answer. Just got some of this stuff and it seems to work pretty well. You can get it cheap online too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahhh, yeah. No need to go to special lengths to get it. This is a pretty common supplement. I've used it for a few years now. It's cheap at Walmart.

Chocolate has caffeine in it... I don't even care if this is a levelling attempt.

I thought this was a well-known fact too. Hmmm.

yeah, but not enough to matter. it's not anything like drinking a cup of coffee before bed.

Heh, there's a line in one of John Swartzwelder's books where a character, after being beaten to a pulp in a police cell, says "I slept like a baby - waking up screaming and crapping my pants every two hours".

I usually lay in bed with my eyes closed and reflect on one or two key hands that made or break that particular tourney..I'll review other ways to play the hand, make some conclusions and typically that sort of analysis exhausts me to the point that I fall asleep within 10 minutes. if the heart is still racing after this, i'll pop on some soft music for a complete distraction from poker
