Anybody else that can't sleep at night ?

[Doug]

I did 12 years on graveyard shift, I'm 41, haven't worked in 1 year +. I still can't sleep at night. I've tried, I can't sleep until 6 am or so. It sucks. Graveyard ruined me. 3 AM , I'm still at most alert level of the day. I can sleep from 8am-6pm fine. I can't break it ! I hope it doesn't take 12 years to reverse that curse.

Moral of my story is don't agree to work graveyard shift too readily.

Have you tried different combos of sleep deprivation: skipping part or all of a whole day or two's sleep? None of this has worked?

Or maybe gradually change your sleep time by say: around 5 / 6am hit the health club-- but really extend the time w. running first, then weightlifting slowlyyyyyy all muscle groups(very important: w/ as light weights as possible, so as not to be sore for the next few days), followed by swim. sauna, steam bath... you're of course, taking your supplements, vitamins, sports water, etc, before, during & after-- to stave off any sleep. Everything slowly-- the shower, blow-dry hair(even if you only have 4 hairs left<g>). Afterwards you'll go have a big meal, then make a point to walk it off-- eat far from home & walk home if you have to. You will now be going to sleep @ midday or later. When you go to sleep, sleep in as many hours as possible.
When you get up, have a regular 12 hour-schedule, then repeat. You should then be getting to sleep that second day around 6pm or later....

Hey Charles,

Merry XMAS.......Lets figure this contest out...Since I dont dislike you and believe you to be a quality poster..if Baseball guy is not in this than me and you can do it for money and the loser does not have to leave the forum as that seems foolish, since there is no problems...I just want baseball guy to stop his retarded threads....

 

[charleslanger]

Yes, Merry Xmas!

LOL Thank you, however i'm fully aware of your formidable database, stats & wagering prowess: if i can stay close & not stink up the joint it should be fun, and i'll also learn in the process.

Let's try and do whatever you have in mind--or we can have it as open-ended / flexible as possible: is any type of bet allowed, is college basket ok, is any other sport fine as long as it's hooked with a basket game... is second half ok, etc.?

Whatever you wish......

 

[PeteRoseJR]

you too charles, ...I m pretty easy going I say that since we all have different strengths and weaknesses and this now is basically for fun we can do any number of sports .....

We will do this......Start December 25th

Any sport......any bet you like.

........... IE) props, quarters, halves, moneylines whatever.........NFL, NBA, Cricket, Indonesian Waterpolo, again..whatever you like...

1 unit = $100

Most units at FEB 1st deadline...wins whatever we decide the stakes are.....you can decide that....

This will be fun and hopefully we can learn something off each other and help out the board....Good Luck Chuck....

[charleslanger]

ooh, Indonesian Water Polo!! That, along w/ Jamaican ButtHole Surfing-- (Vaseline does wonders for negotiating that packed sand course)...

BTW i don't have any insight on any one sport-- just that spreading out helps when only one or two games for a sport are scheduled...

Why don't you at least pick a range for stakes?

And is total units the goal, or ROI? Is there a starting bankroll size or bet max/min?

 

[PeteRoseJR]

Stakes not huge....I am definetly not a whale...sharp perhaps..but whale most definetly not....so....stakes should be less than $500.00....

Jamaican Butthole surfing is not eligible in this contest as I used to be on the tour for it and have way too much inside info too make this fair...

Starting Bankroll: $5000

Whoever has biggest BR at the end wins...want to do it as a bankroll contest ?...


I need something thats pretty simple and not overly time consuming as work is driving me insane right now with hours and commitments......

So, I suggest doing a BR contest and having the stakes less than $500..

 

[PeteRoseJR]

Minimum bet: $ 100.00

Max bet : $ 750.00

 

[charleslanger]

I only skimmed this, I don't recall challenging a private bet, I'll have to re-read my own thread, here.
