Sleep while playing poker

A few months ago I had a pretty long poker break, I played poker almost every day for 6-10 hours and only had 1 day off a week, but now I don't have any stable schedule, I could play cash games 1-3 hours a day, but I want to go back to MTT, and the best tournaments are mostly in the evening - at night, and I fall asleep during the game for the second day in a row, who fights it?

I didn't understand wheather you work or not or if you are playing poker professionally, but if you don't have a day job, maybe you could change your schedule, sleeping in the day, don't know if that's possible.
I mean, if you are playing a big MTT, and you are already 2 hours in, how can you just fall asleep when you can win big money, I don't really get that part. Maybe drink coffee? take a cold shower? If this is really what you want. On the other gand when you are really motivated to play but still fall asleep, then your body and or mind are just too tired and you should give them a rest for a few days weeks months depending on how much you worked and or did something else.

Я не зрозумів, чи працюєш ти, чи ні, і чи граєш ти в покер професійно, але якщо у тебе немає основної роботи, можливо, тобі варто змінити свій графік, спати вдень, не знаю, чи це можливо.
Я маю на увазі, якщо ви граєте великий MTT, і вже минуло 2 години, як ви можете просто заснути, коли можете виграти великі гроші, я не дуже розумію цього. Можливо, випити кави? прийняти холодний душ? Якщо це дійсно те, чого ви хочете. З іншого боку, коли ви дійсно мотивовані грати, але все одно засинаєте, значить ваше тіло та/або розум просто надто втомилися, і вам слід дати їм відпочити кілька днів, тижнів або місяців, залежно від того, скільки ви працювали або робили щось інше.

I want to say that, in my opinion, I am very tired of poker, or rather, of my brain, because if I play, say, cash games from 22:00 to 00:00 and feel like I want to fall asleep and go watch some videos or play games, most likely I will fall asleep like crazy.

So better stop playing, you is donating money to field.

I often sleep during the 5 min pause at the and of the hour. Sometimes when I wake up l`m out...

I usually take a nap before long sessions to avoid to fall asleep while playing

Have not fallen asleep during a game yet

It has happened to me to fall asleep While playing games at night . But never when I play a very important tournament , then I am 100% focused , and I use coffee when it seems that I have difficulty in remaining awaken .
