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

[smyslov]

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"

I also suffer from that kind of situation but I was to brave to tell my family about it, of course, you must accept their anger because you deserve it, but it causes me sleeplessness nights because we need money very bad back then, but it made me realize that gambling is something you must have control and don't pour everything even though it is tempting to do so.

in conditions like this, I really not dare to gamble...
you better keep your savings, refrain from gambling and wait until the epidemic subsides, because in the current conditions when you lose then you will not be able to sleep 

Absolutely correct, this happened when the banned on movement in our state took place, and there wasn't enough funds to stock food stuff for the family. The lesson have been learnt and will not repeat itself again even at the elapse of this pandemic ravaging the whole world. I think what actually happened to me was greediness and we'll should beware of this deadly disease.

what is important here is the lesson we've learn and not letting it happen again,and also i am proud of you because you admit your mistake and willing to change for good and this is what gamblers need to have for not becoming addicted.
the world will be heal sooner because there is no permanent thing in this world but changes so in sooner time this pandemic will be gone.

Anyone with such ability as comment above is an element of chronic addiction with due respect. The true of the whole thing is that; many of these gamblers around the forum aren't true gamblers we'll know because many of them are just gamblers in "wordings" and not in reality. As a promoter, your time and resources wouldn't allow anyone to lose his or her funds without feelings. No matter how small it looks as to my earnings, I really appreciate it not to lose.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost here. Are you talking about 30,000 NGN (77 USD), calling it small money for you, or you mean any money, even 1 USD, is better not to lose?

If you can't sleep after losing an insignificant amount, the problem is in something else than your gambling. You can quit gambling completely, but still have problem sleeping because of buying a "wrong" type of rice in a store, or a ticket to a movie you don't want to see. I know it because I was in this position myself. When you feel bad, almost everything you do seems wrong, and this causes insomnia and, as a consequence, other health issues. You should stop torturing yourself immediately, and move on.

And if 30,000 NGN is big money for you, I also have a solution. First you should answer yourself a question: "During what period of time I could afford to lose such money?" If it's 4 months, then don't gamble for 4 months. Thus, restraining yourself from gambling, day after day, you will be solving your problem, and you will not have difficulties with sleeping, knowing that you are doing something positive and productive.

In short, the money is gone. Period. Stop thinking about that. Rather concentrate on recovering it, only not through gambling, but through abstaining from it for a long period of time, long enough that you could say to yourself that, considering your income, you just lost a amount you could afford to lose during that period of time.

Lucky for you, you already told your family about that. Until now everytime I remembered how much I'd loss in my gambling addiction 2yrs ago it keeps me awake till morning, it is still a nightmare for me, since then I learned my lesson not to put all my assets in a game, because I lost everything on that game.

That was a reply to a comment earlier.

I have stopped bordering over this incident because the said fund has gone and nothing anyone can't do to bring it back. Candidly speaking, my experience throughout that day wasn't good. Thanks to good spirited individuals on this forum who have shared their experiences with me, I have leaned many things from here and have already started putting all modalities in place.

And if 30,000 NGN is big money for you, I also have a solution. First you should answer yourself a question: "During what period of time I could afford to lose such money?"

Possibly, no gambler would love to see him or her self loose to gambling anytime anyday if they put into consideration how they manage to earn their funds. In my case, greediness was all over shadowed me.

In short, the money is gone. Period. Stop thinking about that.

Absolutely  gone, I have learned my lessons and will ensure never to repeat same again in life. As I said earlier, chasing after my lost will endanger my life and that of my family, so, I have let go my losses.

There were times when I also lost sleep due to loosing in gambling as I was one of the uncontrolled gamblers and I didn't knew when to stop gambling even while loosing huge amount of games in a row and I was one of those who thought that they would cut back their losses after loosing the games.
But now I have had help from many psychologists and therapists and now I am able to control my emotions and have limited the amount of money I gamble, now I just gamble for the sake of fun.

Each person do have its own experiences and having nightmares on some cases.So far i havent experience on losing too much with gambling yet i do know on what are the things would be mainly affected if i do able to spend out the money which are intended for my family needs and wants in life. Only spent a little for the sake of entertainment and never go beyond or cross that line.Well, we know on whats the reality in talks of this matter where there are really people who wrecked up their lives because of playing too much gambling where they didnt able to realize or think earlier on what would be the consequences that lies ahead.

Great decision, and yet it is unclear, to me at least, were 30,000 NGN big money for you? I mean, if it were more than 10% of your monthly income, that's significant. But if it were less than 5%, there's not much to worry about, in my opinion. I'm not saying that you can continue with gambling and losing such amounts again and again, but you should definitely stop regretting the loss, and move on.

Anyways, I'm glad you've learned your lesson. Many gamblers, myself included, were in your place at some point, and we have drawn our conclusions, and we are not going to repeat it in the future.

Agree, it's not the time to be tempted on gambling since we need to save money since lockdown and quarantine are still implemented to avoid COVID-19. If you'll gonna waste money then It'll be over for you if the ECQ extends for a longer time. Gambling can wait, practice your self-control, it might fix your behavior towards gambling.

Save and keep your money, spend it on foods. Keep safe always!

It is very likely that most gamblers are already implementing this advice, this is not the time to spend our money in luxuries, we need that money in the case things get even worse and if this means spending less money in our gambling activities for some time then it must be done, even if I like gambling from time to time there are many things that we can do to entertain ourselves that could be very cheap or even free, if we do that then we can keep most of our money and if things improve quickly and we do not need to use that money to buy supplies then you could always gamble with that money in the future.

Not all of us are here to entertain themselves, some are really professional gambler especially when they are playing a skill based games in online casinos. Besides, in times like this gamblers know their limitation since we have quarantine state all over the world, if they are not fool enough they will prioritize storing their food on fridge than risking it on gambling right? Just a quick thought, what if casinos will put a limited playing time? would it be that bad for them or their players during these times?

[Stedsm]

Even gambling anything that you can afford to lose isn't worth it at current moment because losing will bring you regret only and you will think that whatever lost, could have been used for your family's daily needs instead. Yes, there were sleepless nights for me while sportsbetting, but that has nothing to do with my affordability to lose my money, but rather different. I used to place my bets a day ago and then, while thinking that the match is gonna take place in early morning, I couldn't sleep and just wait for the match to start.

One of the hardest part in telling your family what is the worst thing that happened to you in anything gambling or not is how are you going to face and handle their anger. Another, how are you going to overcome your fear in telling the truth? They deserve to know things about you because you're family and it is money matter. Yes you're brave because you tell them. When money or losing money is involve, it is a big issue because it is very important.

[Lorence.xD]

I can't say that everytime that I gamble but definitely there are times, especially the times that I lose big time. It really hurts your health when you lose, include the frustration and regret that comes with it when you lose money, I am starting to change though, I atleast try to discipline myself and gamble as little as possible, I have found a way to alleviate the itches by downloading and playing ( They have android ) Chinese Poker and Hold'em poker, they are good for the urges though I don't get money but it really helps try them. I have been away from gambling for awhile now and it really is a good feeling because I have money to spend to other things that are worth it (Books and Food).

Good if you can learn your lesson and make sure it will not happen again in the future. It is hard to accept the loss, whether it's big to lose or small loose. We cannot do anything unless accepted and trying not to think over and over again about that loss. The loose money will not come, no matter how hard you try, you might make another lose.

I hope you already learn about controlling yourself, and don't let greediness take over your mind because chasing more winning in gambling will not give a good result for you but only get more losses. You should think about your life and your family because they are the most important thing for you now and forever.

[Debonaire217]

Perhaps, it might fall in to two different sides depending on your gambling outcome. For example, if you are winning straight for multiple times and decided to sleep, I bet, you will have a comfortable sleep, but the opposite will happen if you are always losing, this is because you are aware that you need to win back your losses and it causes frustration if you will sleep accepting that you lose too much in a day. Well, based from my personal experience on how I handle this, I always think of what will happen in tomorrow, as long as I have a limitation in the amount of funds I bet, I am good and happy to accept no matter what the outcome of my bet is.

[Sadlife]

If you are gambling in order to earn a living out of it then it will definitely have a psychological effect on your mind and consequently even your sleep will be distorted.
The biggest you made was to even gamble using the money that was not yours. If you don't have money or if you are planning to gamble in order to earn out of it then always ensure you totally avoid the temptation to gamble because the consequences can be far much worse than your initial situation that led you to gamble.

This is real for many gamblers out there that makes a living through online casino's and sports bet but also very risky as it can take your every asset, savings, accessories also properties when you've become really addicted to it. I've read people's story here who made gambling as a source of income but there are also who got rekt and in the end not they have sleepless night but also loss everything.

they can try but with care because the moment you losses constantly then must find that this is not your place to make a profit.
there are many place here in crypto in which there might be a profitable specially if you have capital to start like what you spent in gambling.
buy crypto to keep holding,or try to invest in gambling sites instead of betting against them witht his a chance of making money is much secure than to gamble.
like many times we've done when we are in trials of spending money to gamble sometimes winning but mostly losing so try safer than that.

[EdenHazard]

Very rarely it was only during initial days when I was so obsessed to it as it was in moving money and wanted to make the most of it . But as times passed by and understood that it should be only taken as fun and entertainment purpose then it started to be a very good way to enjoy the game and time as well . So after that it was all good and never had difficulty in sleeping .

Gambling makes you feel like insomnia only when you lost , everyone knew about it, stressful thing always ended up with the same result.
So do with the joyful thing when you won a game unexpectedly it will always ended up with the same results,  a good memory that let you fall in deep sleep.

So yeah it's conditional.

so at least for now as you are hurting whenever you lose big money that it is time to stop gambling so the hurting will not continue?
if we already know the consequences then why not get out of that?

it can make you sleepless also if you win big because you will consider going back again to win and win more because greediness will run your mind at most time.
