How to stay awake

[Zorba]

Do ya know what works even better for me? Reading a couple posts by that AtiFCOD. Yah... that wakes me right up, lol.

After laughing uncontrollably for a few mins, that garbage puts me to sleep.

A 10-hour block is tough, so the key isn’t just “staying awake,” it’s managing energy.

A few things that help:

• Get proper sleep the night before — nothing replaces that.
• Take short breaks every 60–90 minutes (stand up, stretch, walk).
• Stay hydrated and avoid heavy meals that make you sluggish.
• Use caffeine strategically, not constantly — small doses work better than big crashes.
• If possible, reduce tables late in the session when focus naturally drops.

But honestly, if you’re regularly exhausted after many hours, it might be better to split sessions. Long-term performance matters more than grinding while tired.

To stay awake during long gaming sessions, I usually schedule a day of rest beforehand, so I have energy for that day. While I'm playing, I usually have my cup of coffee or drink some energy drink to prepare for those long hours of gaming.

Play shorter sessions and give priority to proper sleep, food etc. Take care of yourself, like an athlete would.

Take short 5-minute breaks every couple of hours, and eat light meals with protein and complex carbs. Avoid heavy food and too much sugar. A little caffeine helps, but don’t overdo it.

You should never play poker tired.
