When you're winning you can't sleep

[DaNNy001]

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".

In my case, it has happened many times, when I have lost, I have lost sleep, I have not slept properly for about 5/7 days. I think that success excites us more than the peace it gives us. Then I feel that when I have been able to do it, I can do more difficult things. Many people may think that when I win, my mind becomes calm, but that is when the game starts, after winning, my mind is on fire and I am anxious to win more.

Well, having those up and down feelings are quite normal but it is not advisable to allow gambling affect your mood...if losing makes you loose sleep it means that you are staking huge amounts of money that you cannot afford to lose and you need to find ways to mitigate that otherwise it can result to you losing more in the long run...when gambling your mind must always be relaxed, that's if you are gambling responsibly

All those collapse and eventually the person is addicted and justifying it in any way they can.

I agree with you, when a person is addicted to always Looking for a way to do it and justifies their behavior, however , if those people have someone to help them, they should act quickly so that their problem Doesn't worsen, because later they will bring more consequences.

gambling with more than what we can afford to lose can leads to feeling of restlessness, to avoid this ill feelings we should gamble with an amount that even if we lose it , it will never affect us.
A gambler can only be relaxed while gambling when the money used for gambling means nothing to him so whatever the outcome of the bet maybe doesn't really matter to him. Sometimes putting all ones hope in gambling can also make a gambler not to relaxed since they have placed all there hope in gambling.

This topic is vise versa meaning that when a gambler is wining he can't sleep and also when he is losing he can't also sleep as well. The thing is that when a game is played and it's running smoothly it make the Gambler have sleepless night expecialy when he aims to win all or cashout when all is not possible. And a Gambler can also have sleepless night when he is losing and as a result of that he becomes aggressive and want to recover his loses. This two things are the things that usually cause a gambler not to sleep. But for me, not all game is what having sleepless night for, except such person is addicted.

if hour sleep gets affected by gambling it means that something is definitely wrong, it leads to a whole lot of health problems if you don't improve on it. Anything that makes you lose sleep it means that you are gambling with emotions and this is capable of making you overly obsessed with it. it is important to get to a point where you shouldn't always take things from gambling serious to you

I think it’s a clear sign of how addictive gambling can be, that inability to sleep is your brain craving the next outcome, At first it feels exciting but over time it turns into stress and anxiety.

You don't feel over many things, which all are some kind of engaging, makes you excited and reward you something in return. So we can't generalize that inability to sleep is a sign of addiction, it could be the excitement too which are not same but one who is not feeling any excitement but depressed over the loss and still continue to gamble while feel nothing and have the issue with their sleep then it is connected to their gambling activity but technically they reached the depressed state.

This is always how addiction starts. When someone can't stop playing even at the times when he should sleep or eat. I know addicts who don't stop playing even while in the toilet or at work. Some of them are teachers and police officers. And fortunetly, almost all of them started by hitting a big one which brought a lot of nice dreams of wealthiness and luxury at the point they can't asleep. Then it turns to be a dilemma that someone can't sleep because he can't stop playing even though he is losing again and again.

This condition is almost all of them feel it no matter what they work as when gambling addiction occurs and they cannot control themselves well then in the end they will only get stuck in the same groove.

This kind of flow occurs due to their emotions that cannot be prevented where initially there must be a sense of victory that they get which makes them always motivated to do anything for gambling because they always have the thought that this is how they can get more money.
In the end, this condition makes them suffer just because of the wishful thinking they are trying to create.

Even the hope of winning triggers a rush of adrenaline and dopamine which are the same chemicals that keep us alert and active. That's why some gamblers really struggle to sleep after a win or while waiting for a game, they are physically and mentally on high alert. The danger as you said is that the same system flips instantly when lucks turn. that high can crash to a low in second, leaving a person stressed, anxious and even depressed. It is exactly like a drug, the excitement is addictive, but the crash can be brutal. Recognizing this pattern is key to understanding why gambling affects not just money but mental and physical health too.

[rachael9385]

But in my case, I also experienced to have sleepless night the time that I lose a decent amount in gambling. Having regrets and thoughts of what I should do to get back the money. It's a situation that I don't want to experience again that's why if I gamble, my funds are just a spare money.

It is the common things that happened to you. When anyone loses a good amount of money, then the person can't sleep, at least can't enjoy sound sleep. I know a few people who have tried to commit suicide for the loss of gambling losses. In this situation, how can a person sleep or enjoy a sound sleep? I think only a few people may sleep for tired or for drunk.

if gambling is a game of chance I wonder why people would l know this and still get devastated after they have gambled and probably lost. first of all gambling makes people get anxious because they stake a lot of money, this reason alone is a reason you wouldn't be able to rest. this can all be avoided by gambling responsibly, whenever I stake a high amount i get a bit worried that's why I stopped doing that

I think if someone is losing sleep over something they must be already starting to get addicted to it.

It is usually a good idea to cut down on it.

At least for a bit and see how it goes.

Your explanation is always accurate when discussing the real emotional condition for a gambler at the start to be addicted. But this will make sense much more if we can evaluate what could be the steps to diagnostics the gambler as an ill person and what could be the treatment solution for him. Treatment means medical treatment but also emotional. You and me and money others in this discussion aren't addictive gamblers who recovered or know how the behavioral addict can recover, especially those who ignores the fact that they are ill persons. Frankly, such details haven't been a serious subject topic here in discussion or in forum.

On the contrary, for me, it's the opposite. When I win, I actually feel like I'm sleeping soundly, tossing and turning in bed, dreaming about what I'll buy with the money. Maybe buying things I like or going on vacation. It's so much fun.

And it's completely different when I lose. Even if the loss is relatively small, I feel incredibly anxious, feeling utterly defeated and needing to win back the money I've lost. This ultimately leads me to place more bets, lose again, lose again, and keep betting, hoping for a big win that will recoup my losses. It's a situation that truly makes me anxious, emotional, upset—all of my feelings are mixed up, making me truly restless, unable to sleep, and even leaving me frozen until morning, asking myself, 'How could I be so stupid?'

[Mindyspace]

That makes a lot of sense. When you're winning, your mind doesn't switch off, it doesn't stop. You're stuck in that anxiety + adrenaline rush, thinking 'what if I bet more?'. It's not just about the money, it's the adrenaline rush itself. The problem is that this feeling is quite addictive, and when the addiction becomes too much, then it becomes a problem. Then comes the frustration, sleep loss, and the urge to win back, which only makes everything worse.

You can imagine how painful and sad it can be to lose money you have suffered and work hard to get. Gambling is risky in the sense that winning is not guarantee but yet we still do it because we believe we would make a profit someday and sometimes even if you use what you can afford to lose, there is a way your ticket will cut, you will be a pissed and angry just imagine a situation where your bet is remaining one for you and then only for you to see that the game has played opposite, you will be really pissed off even though the stake is affordable and small.

[OgNasty]

I have never been so excited about gambling that I couldn't sleep.  I think maybe that might be what you're spending your winnings on.

That is a serious sign of addiction though.  When you start having trouble maintaining regular things like sleep, you have a problem.

Losing money you worked hard for can be very painful and frustrating, and gambling makes that feeling even stronger because of how unpredictable it is. Even when the stake is small or something you can afford to lose, the emotional reaction doesn’t always match the amount of money involved. That one remaining game cutting your ticket can trigger anger and regret because it feels like the win was so close.

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.

The anxiety that comes with winning Is unexplainable, and this is what leads some gamblers if not properly control themselves lost all the have laboured for within a short period of time or become an addict, as a gambler, you don't need to be carried away with your emotions, since it will not help you to make a proper decision of your games or life in general.

They don't think of what the consequences are. They'll only notice it when they're done from that.
And so, it's best to avoid worsening the problem when you have gambled so much.
Do not justify the wrong behavior that we have just applied. Whether you're winning or losing, act accordingly and don't make trouble for yourself and for other people.

In my case, it works the other way around, and I don't sleep well when I lose. When I win, I sleep very well, but when I lose a big bet, I remember that again and again, and I don't feel good until I win another bet. Sometimes I think that the "win or lose" of gambling releases a chemical called dopamine in the brain that works differently in each person's body. It works when someone loses, and it works when someone wins.
