Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping as a gambler?

[AakZaki]

Besides being in this forum, sleep is also my favorite.  Where I have never had difficulty sleeping, because when I do football betting I sometimes leave it until the game is over.
Even in online casino gambling when I have a loss I never thought about it even I immediately shut down the computer and sleep.
Similarly, when I won I was never complacent, if the benefits were felt to be enough.  I immediately stopped and came back another time.

I am not really used in gambling but I think gambling can also makes us difficult to sleep because it is like our habit in our life, personally speaking, I am so used in playing online games and it makes me difficult to sleep because of the feeling that I want when playing, when I want to sleep, I keep saying that this is my last game for this day but it won't happen because I am still playing and playing. I think that is similar on what gamblers can feel while playing.

i think i can feel you here Mate,i remember when i was teenager and really loves to gamble?i am always waiting for my allowance to be given by my parents so i can gamble Half of them.

and when those times come?yeah i cannot sleep thinking what combination i will bet,and what gambling i will be playing.
thinking also who will be my opponent and many more about gambling and i even forgot about my studies .

so yeah i did have a difficulties in sleeping way back time.

[Ailurophile]

Only a few times when I lose a huge amount on a single bet and when I already have a profit but I still continue to play and ended up losing all of my money.
In those times I would have trouble sleeping because of overthinking and some what if's.

This is my personal experience: I am a gambler who loves gambling mostly on sports betting and have had series of experiences which some a positive and others negative but for the purpose of this thread; I am going to talk about my negative experience.

Just a few days ago, the government of my country made an announcement about stay at a home policy which made me get boredom. During these few days, I have been involved actively in gambling mainly on virtual sports betting which I have lost beyond my imagination.

At first, I lost a whopping sum of #30,000 (NGN) in a local currency, I played some games and won with some good profits which I used to Carter for the family but went the next day to meet my Waterloo during which I lost the said amount. This has affected me and caused me a sleepless night because the said money wasn't for me but the entire family for upkeep during this trial moment. I am regretting my loss because the remaining members of the family aren't aware of this loss. This has not happened to me before now until this compulsory self quarantine from the government.

To my co-gamblers: these days are tempting, ensure to be more careful with your savings and "never gamble what you can't afford to lose"

You just get stressed for the situation and been worried for the losses what you encountered so best o move on mate since its not really helpful to think that since the more you think the more sadness you get, so just think that you lost it accidentally and move on since that's the life of the gamblers and best to learn from this mistake to be more responsible gambler next time.

[Wexnident]

It's a matter of your inner mind now tbh. Just the fact that you think you lost a large amount is enough for most gamblers to fiddle around and panic, making their minds fill up with irregular thoughts and the like. An example would be an endless amount of "what if" situations, that no matter what would've never happened either way cause what's done is done. There's countless of chances that gamblers would always arrive at these kinds of thoughts, so I'd advise learning how to deal with it so it wouldn't affect your matters outside of gambling that much. Reducing the amount of money to gamble or lessening your time in gambling isn't really a solution, since those thoughts would still come, one way or another.

[maxreish]

It's our body's response to the frustations. In my case, when I lose huge amount in gambling, I do sleep to and get better afterwards. But there are also some times that I can't sleep when I win big and I lose big. That's the truth. If you are an optimistic gambler, thinking that you can recover your losses if not tomorrow then for the upcoming days, then you can set aside bad emotions and can sleep with a positive mind.
 
 This is gambling. Remember that we can not get easy money here and house always win at the end. So, acceptance is just the only key to start all over again if we lose.

[Sadlife]

Yes certainly, my experience is same as you did and i also gambled in sports betting mostly i bet in Esports Dota 2 games cause at that time that was my favourite esports game and im familiar with the team, draft and strategies. It was my first time trying that kind of gambling, it was 3x bet odd so i get triple if i win. After betting i need to wait cause the match is tomorrow, it was a sleepless night for me and i felt excited and scared. The next morning Luckily the team that i picked won, so afer i got hooked at playing.

If this happens to me I will also lose sleep, because the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is to lose in gambling when you badly need money or if you win then lose the next day and you even lose more money, this is very depressing even if you have all the time in the world in your home  in this crisis you should minimize your money that you allocated in gambling sites.

[michellee]

I feel if I made something wrong, not just in gambling but also in the other things, that can make me have difficulty sleeping because I will think about how that can happen. But then I realize that it is wrong because that won't solve the problem, so I try to let it flow, and I will try to sleep, although it is difficult. Later, I feel that if I know that something wrong happens again, I don't try to think with hard, but I will take a rest for a while, take a deep breath, and maybe I will try to sleep. And after I woke up, I will try to search for the mistake, and usually, that is work for me. So related to your problem, maybe you need to learn about limiting yourself in gambling, so you don't get the same experience as before, and that will help you to sleep well.

[sheenshane]

Difficulty to sleep, I remember this when I was addicted to mobile online games. Yes, that was different from gambling but they had the same impact on your self. If you are desperately want to earn money and you have been huge losses in gambling of course in your mind you want to chase on it. And you might be thinking about what the next strategy that you will win. You should control this kind of feeling and emotion because it is bad for your health and wealth.

That's why we always say that line here that always gamble that you can afford to lose. If the limit will be reached either you will win or lose you must stop.

Conscience and regret will bother you every time you go to bed. It will cause you to have some stressful nights thinking of the things that you've done after those losses in gambling. Thinking of the possible happenings if you didn't lose all your money. Always think critically before doing an action to make sure that you'll never regret everything you've done. Also be accountable of your actions to prevent self-regret and being stressful about the results in gambling. Don't gambling before you sleep, instead gambling in the morning so that if you have a hard time gambling, you can relax and think of positive vibes that will help you move on from the losses in gambling.

Honestly, before I started gambling, I learned how to do a proper management of my money to minimize my losses. I tried to do manipulation so that from time to time, my losses are not that huge enough to cause me some panic or stress. Most especially when I'm in my zone, If I'm continuously winning, I will just keep all my winnings and saved it so that I have a spare money to gamble for. I always limit the money I've spent because there are more budgets that I should prioritize not just only gambling. I learned a lot in trading because I practiced self-discipline and controlling my emotion just by trading and having a lot of transactions, that helped me a lot to become a wise gambler. If you're not lucky enough to win in gambling, then you should make some strategies on how you will minimize your losses to prevent stress and sleeplessness at night.

I do have some disturbance in sleeping if i bet on a match which is still in progress and it is night at my country. I try to sleep but could not sleep properly due to curiosity of who will win the match and whether i will be able to win the bet or not.

[yazher]

Surely today is not a good day to waste our money with gambling, we need to know that our current situation right now is getting worse. we can see in social media where foods are scarce and jobs are suspended. what we have now on our possession is the only thing we can assure that we have. We cannot hope for those earnings to come unless our cities will operate normally again. We need to be vigilant in every matter right now because pandemic is not a joke, we need to save money as much as we can.

Gambling won't give you any assurance on the possible result of your decision so even if it turns out bad, you have no other choice but to accept it. Personally, I haven't experienced having trouble sleep because of gambling. I usually gamble with my extra money and there's some circumstances that I lose, but I manage to handle my emotions despite of feeling remorse with my own decisions. It takes time to learn to control yourself and emotions. Sometimes your mistakes and experiences will make you realized how it negatively affects you way of thinking and emotions.

[Viscore]

Sometimes, when I lose and win too much.

When I lose too much, I can't stop blaming myself and that will not only take 24 hours, I can always remember that and the only solution to that is when I can get back my loses. Also, When I won a lot, I can't sleep well due to the big excitement I am feeling, I am already thinking how to spend the money I won and I always remember my strategy on how I win games, these are based on my experience but I would prefer having a trouble in sleeping because I won than when I lose money.

[aioc]

I have a sleeplessness night on my big losses it's actually my 15 days salary, I have to take a loan to cover my losses, and took me two months to pay that loan with big interest, of course, people should really gamble, what they can afford to lose or else they will end up taking a loan to cover your losses since then I never gamble with my salary.

[Shinpako09]

Definitely not. I used to play before going to sleep way back. Even the results is loss I can still sleep like the usual. Thinking too much won't make any change in the result. Just sleep and play again tomorrow hoping you'll win next time. Those who only have difficulty in sleeping because of gambling are those very emotional player or maybe those player who loss the money reserved for basic needs or for more important things.

[Questat]

I can still sleep mate, I experience losing a big amount of money too in my journey as a gambler, but I know the technique to sleep well, I drink a lot until I get drunk and actually there is no difference when I win in gambling as I also love to drink spending the money that I won, so I have no problem like yours.
