How to stay awake when playing poker?

Start playing earlier in the day.

Sleeping some time before a MTT can help me to stay awake more.
Yeah, it happen often that I miss some hands because I fall asleep short period of time . When a MTT you like to play very much , only happen 1x time a day and at a late time then you have to simply to go to bed when you know you wont be able to play it all.
Imagine you running very well, you chip lead till you fall asleep and wake up out of blind.

No secret. I play when I'm not sleepy.

Very coffee

Take a good rest before playing, or if you feel bored playing one table, try playing another one.

An icy shower and helpful neighbors who will show you after every scream how much they care about your night game! ))) My replay freerolls often start at 4 am))) You have to approach night games according to your mood... if you want, the game goes on, and if you are sleepy, then only your philosophical mood)))) There are a lot of emotions due to irresistible stupidity)))

just play when your brain is fresh and not tired , when you are tired you will tilt 100%

Drink a cup of good coffee

listen to your body and try avoid playing tired.

maybe look into why you are tired.

another way to stay awake is to go all in on every hand, the fear will keep you awake

If it regularly puts you to sleep you may not be getting sufficiently engaged. Treat every hand like it really matters.

If I'm sleepy, I just go to bed and don't start the game. If I play poker, it's only when I feel cheerful, because otherwise I won't enjoy the game.

Hi! Good sleep before tournaments and also a lot of coffee .

Good luck at the tables and happy easter .

Ah man. The amount of money I donated to the community having a few too many beers and nodding off.

If this is because of the length of a game then just play limited sit and go's, if it is cash games when quit.

While playing...I often want to sleep...How do you deal with this? Share your secret...

Lose big or win big...you'll either be too angry or too excited to fall asleep.

Bebendo café 😅😂😂

louuu19 · Apr 22, 2025

energy drink or play when you wake up

vriza · Apr 22, 2025

I am thrilled when I play. No chance to fall asleep even after mtt is over

odonob · Apr 22, 2025

Have a nap, don’t play poker if you are tired as you will make bad mistakes. Play when fully rested if possible.

Coffee and Cigarettes

I also get bored or sleepy with just one table, that's why I open several so I have to think about it all the time and stay active

heguli82 · Apr 22, 2025

Dont start long tournaments when feeling tired

To stay awake while playing poker at night, I first rest in the afternoon and sleep for about two hours. If I don't sleep in the afternoon, when I go to play at night, I fall asleep and my thinking is slow, which makes it difficult for me to play.

Black coffee and 8 hours of sleep.
