Getting Proper Sleep During The Trading Week?

Quote from dsq:

I have sleep propblems during the week were i am only capable of getting 4-6hrs sleep max per night from sun-thursday.On weekends i get 8hrs sleep per night and feel well rested.During the week i am a zombie.

I have to wake up at 6 30 am here on the west coast and it doesnt matter if i fall asleep early or not i just wake up up prematurely after only 5 or 6 hrs sleep.For instance if i go to bed at 10 i will wake up at 4 and i wont be able to fall back aslleep because i start thinking about how the sp futures are doing etc...

Does anybody else suffer from this know and how do you overcome this?Yes i already take sleeping pills and they do not help in preventing my premature wake up!

Reduce your trading where you can sleep better.

has anybody tried valerian, chamomile or other herbs?

Chamomile Tea is cheap and it\'s worth a shot. It has helped in the past, maybe a placebo, but I liked it, and it actually tastes decent. valrian can take the edge off, as St John\'s Wort can too.

Good stuff. Works for some, not for others. I recommend trying it if you\'re up for the natural route.
 
Here's my magic formula.

I found that the best way to get a good night of sleep is an hour of intense sex in the evening. Very relaxing afterwards.

I don't get it everyday, but I strive for it. Give it a try if you can.

You said your computer is in your bedroom.

If that is your trading computer you may want to change that arrangement and create your workspace separate from your sleeping / relaxing space.

Otherwise you are attempting everynight to relax and sleep in your office.

Having been one who at one point in my career, lived and slept in my office, it can work. Although it's better to have a balanced life. Im not saying do it, if you have more rooms, definitely make one the trading room (with trading karma) and one the sleeping/regeneration room. It's also quite feng shuei or whatever.
 
i live on the westcoast to and i have to walk 20 minutes to work everymorning so i have to be up at about 5:30, i try n get to bed by 10-1030 and passed out by 11, im taking 3 classes this semester as well so my sleep patern is pretty brutal. napping during the afternoon really saves me. i also drink a lot of redbull and try and get some sort of exercise in daily to keep the blood flowing.

If you can\'t understand the concepts, get one of your parents or a teacher to explain it to you.

Good night

Well Steve good news. Not only did I ask my dad to explain your statement to me, I asked my cousin who is a cardiologist what he thought.

Both pretty much agreed that you are foolish in your statements.

Figured I\'d give you an update.

Have a nice day sweetheart. Again, I hope someone gets you a present or something. Poor guy.
