Re: Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping as a gambler?
This is my personal experience: I am a gambler who loves gambling mostly on sports betting and have had series of experiences which some a positive and others negative but for the purpose of this thread; I am going to talk about my negative experience. Just a few days ago, the government of my country made an announcement about stay at a home policy which made me get boredom. During these few days, I have been involved actively in gambling mainly on virtual sports betting which I have lost beyond my imagination.
At first, I lost a whopping sum of #30,000 (NGN) in a local currency, I played some games and won with some good profits which I used to Carter for the family but went the next day to meet my Waterloo during which I lost the said amount. This has affected me and caused me a sleepless night because the said money wasn't for me but the entire family for upkeep during this trial moment. I am regretting my loss because the remaining members of the family aren't aware of this loss. This has not happened to me before now until this compulsory self quarantine from the government.
To my co-gamblers: these days are tempting, ensure to be more careful with your savings and "never gamble what you can't afford to lose"
If this happens to me I will also lose sleep, because the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is to lose in gambling when you badly need money or if you win then lose the next day and you even lose more money, this is very depressing even if you have all the time in the world in your home in this crisis you should minimize your money that you allocated in gambling sites.
Unhealthy Gambling may result to greater sleep difficulties. The possible result is having sleeping issues such as insomnia. If a person do gamble and they become addicted to it, it means they lose their control and can cause problems. Your personal experiences were just a lesson of how too much Gambling will cause you. Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you'll have problem falling asleep, some of the reason of having it are anxiety, stress and depression where everyone could possibly feel especially in Gambling. It is very obvious that Gambling did cause difficulties in sleeping.
Yes, Gambling is fun and the thought of probability of winning is overwhelming but not all the time you will win because there's also bad sides of it where you can lose the money you have. Before doing so, you should have thought about the loss and also to have money management and limit for less risks. If you have a great self-control, sleeping difficulties after gambling will not affect you at all.
