When you're winning you can't sleep

[bakasabo]

Isnt it obvious, that when you think about something, wish something really bad, your brain can not go to rest mode so you cant sleep. When brain is worried about something, its really hard to sleep. Everyone had that kind of experience when they were preparing for exam that is the next day, and they had difficulties to go to sleep in time. If persons attention stuck on gambling result, of course that person wont easily go to sleep.

This is true for me especially when I'm playing casino games and hitting those nice multipliers, there is no way I'm going sleep, what makes me sleep is losing. Even when I place a parley on sports bet, I rarely sleep when it is remaining one game to go. It is even worse when the ticket is holding a decent amount of money, there is no way I'll sleep when the game is live or about to start. This may sound as anxiety but it is not, I see it as simple curiosity.

We can only fall asleep in a state of rest, but if you are waiting for your games to end, then you are in a state of excitement, because you are waiting for the results. The matches often end before I go to bed, so I never have such a situation, and if I have a parlay for several days, then it does not bother me much and I can calmly go to bed without thinking about the upcoming matches. Victory, on the contrary, gives me positive emotions and I will sleep even more soundly, because I received a portion of good mood.

After winning or losing a bet, we lose sleep in two cases. We lose sleep due to excitement. When we place a bet, we feel extra pressure in our head, and sleep is lost due to that extra thinking. This problem occurs most in those who cannot tolerate mental stress. This happens more to beginners. When I first started gambling, I did not sleep well that night. However, I got used to it with the change of time. I believe this problem happens to every gambler for the first time, but it is possible to gradually adapt to the change of time. So I think there is nothing to worry about, it is normal.

If you are too stressed then maybe you should lessen the amount of money you gamble with. Some people might be genuinely distraught because the money they just lost would actually be something they need in order to survive that is why they are losing sleep over it.

I have seen one interview of a former gambler and what he is saying caught my attention. He says that "when you're winning you can't sleep". I'm not sure if others have experience it or if this make sense. In any case though, one explanation is that we are really in a heightened alert, meaning it's like gambling is like a drugs that keeps up alive and awake and then the human emotions of greed takes in as we want to win for. But the problem is that after that, and in worse case if our luck turns bad, then this drug will like shoot to 100->0 in a instant. Or like when we are about to go to bed and suddenly that inch comes along and let's say that we go on sports bet, but the game will start in the next couple of hours, then we might have difficulty in sleeping and as if we take like 4 cups of coffee or a energy drink because we will for sure can't wait to see that game and hope that our stakes is going to win.

I see that situation as addiction since no people in right mind won't fall asleep not unless if they are experiencing bad thing and what always comes up on their mind is addiction.

But for people casually gamble or have experience and in control. For sure that can't sleep things when they are winning doesn't exist, since for sure that they could able to handle their emotion then think about they better try their luck next time since these people provably don't want their winnings will gotten back by the casino. But I saw many gamblers experiencing that situation and even me I experience that especially when I'm totally noob on gambling and think that I can always win when I play more harder.

This only happens if you are very emotional or you are already quite addicted. A big win will generate adrenaline and excitement but you must be able to control yourself and it should pass soon. If it does not pass soon, then you have a problem.

If you are too stressed then maybe you should lessen the amount of money you gamble with. Some people might be genuinely distraught because the money they just lost would actually be something they need in order to survive that is why they are losing sleep over it.

If that is happening to someone then it means they are already addicted. If you cross that bridge it is hard to get back from it. Someone who is not addicted will never risk money that they need or savings.

You know what bothers me ? when I place a ticket overnight and I wake up randomly to verify the bet and it happened to me a few times and then I decided that I will never place a bet when I try to sleep because my brain will get permanently curious of the outcome which is crazy. 

However, if I win before going to bet , I will sleep like a baby and won't even be thinking about continue to bet or something.

[EluguHcman]

Emotion is never advised to be implied in gambling and where we have spent or stake values that we can not tolerate to loose so easily can be tormenting that we would feel restless.

If you ask me OP, I will say Loosing is what could trouble gamblers from having peaceful bed rest because the depression of loosing their values on chasing profits can be emotionally draining and destabilizing the good state of the heart beat to let you have peace of mind to sleep.

Winning is accompanied with excitement that I think will even make you sleep like a baby with less worries. So anyone on winning should have peaceful sleep with a good state of mind.

[Botnake]

This is still way better than losing and not being able to sleep from stress. I mean, you won’t always win, most of the time you probably won’t, so this kind of problem isn’t really a bad one.

To be honest, I’d love to have that kind of “problem” too, but it’s not happening to me yet. Maybe if I hit a jackpot or something, I probably wouldn’t sleep either, just thinking how to spend it. So OP, that’s what you call a happy problem. Keep it up and keep winning. Eventually, you’ll get used to it too.

That's the psychology of betting that you can't afford to lose. What often happens, as you describe, is that people bet large amounts, affecting their psychology to the point where they can't sleep, whether they win or lose, because their emotions are constantly exploding.

This is actually bad because it's a bad decision, just like trading with high leverage.

[Pandu Geddon]

He says that "when you're winning you can't sleep".

Gamblers who win and manage to withdraw the winnings, why can't they sleep well? Are they unable to sleep because they think about how to spend their winnings?
There will be a loss if gamblers who win and actually think about betting everything again on the game. If the result is a loss, obviously, gamblers will never sleep well because there is regret in the decisions made.

That’s already a sign of gambling addiction, when you don’t feel right whether you win or lose. Even if you win money, it still has a negative impact ‘cause it’s messing with your health. That’s why they say gamblers still lose even when they win, since they end up chasing that feeling again and just keep spending until they’re satisfied.

It's really hard when you’re emotionally invested, that’s where the pros stand out as they know how to handle both wins and losses without letting it affect their life.
If we’re starting to feel this way, maybe it’s time to step back and re-evaluate ourselves.

[hyudien]

I've experienced and felt this before, I couldn't sleep well when I won, perhaps because I was still a beginner and quite greedy at the time which made me overly excited. When I closed my eyes I kept thinking about the game and wanting to keep playing. But now I can control myself even with a small win I can sleep soundly.

You can't sleep because you're overwhelmed by the excitement in winning and not because you're being troubled, we can attain to a level of success whereby sleep may cease from our eyes due to how we have seen it beyond expectations, gambling is not what we can ordinarily win and the moment we made it in, then it becomes like a success to us like in form of an achievement and we tend not to believe as it keep appearing to us as if we are dreaming.

I've never seen anyone gamble for that long before. Some of my friends have gambled, but even the longest only lasted 2–3 hours probably because they didn’t have much money to spend. It’s a different story when someone millionaire is throwing cash around on a gambling site. Wasting that much in gamble is not really good for ourselves, health and emotion won't stable in long term run.

It’s hard to settle down when you’re winning, and when you have won, even if you did not take drinks that will energize you, the dopamine will get you excited all night.
I experienced that myself because I seldom win, and it’s an exciting experience that lingers on all through the night, and because of the excitement of what you’re going to do with your winning.
Some winnings make you awake the whole night, and some winnings will make it hard for you to sleep for a few days.

[Tmoonz]

I can agree to it because I experienced it before.

I have 2 reasons before:
1. It's either I can't sleep because I am excited about how to spend my winnings  
2. Or I can't sleep because my winnings are not enough and I am still willing to play more, bet more, and expect to grow those winnings.

The excitement of winning can not be overly emphasis for anyone who has had such experiences and will testify of course and this excitement can be on imaginary, and I completely agree with you, how funny it can be thinking your head out on what exactly the money will be use for, most times I will smile and decide that I will not touch the winning I mean it should have some rest and the urge of gambling more for more winning will also be there and this in most cases has landed majority of us in to lossing everything we have won and even more.

[Mate2237]

This is story for most gambler's because when you are winning that feeling of joy is there and the willingness to gamble the more will there because one thing that we we to take note of is that just like you have mentioned gambling is like drugs too so it has the ability to intoxicates so this is the main reason why gambling exparts will encourage people to have self control while gambling.



Both losing and winning could be dangerous for you why because when you are losing you will like to continue to gamble with the hopes of recovering back your money and lose the money the same thing is applicable to when you are winning that feeling of you wanting to continue to win will also set in

When we win, we can't sleep for two reasons: we get a good multiplier but bet small enough to miss out on a lucky break, or we're overjoyed at winning a large amount. And when we lose, we can't sleep if we bet a large amount that we can't afford to lose. The only time we can sleep soundly is when we lose, but with a bet so small that we don't feel like we've lost anything. Everyone can find themselves in one or two states that keep them awake. And I think that can be a problem because it can lead to a state where you can't manage your emotions and finances. So far, according to what I've heard from several of my friends, there are people who can't sleep whether they're winning or losing. But the only time they can sleep is when they're betting small amounts, just a few cents.
