I have seen one interview of a former gambler and what he is saying caught my attention. He says that "when you're winning you can't sleep". I'm not sure if others have experience it or if this make sense. In any case though, one explanation is that we are really in a heightened alert, meaning it's like gambling is like a drugs that keeps up alive and awake and then the human emotions of greed takes in as we want to win for. But the problem is that after that, and in worse case if our luck turns bad, then this drug will like shoot to 100->0 in a instant. Or like when we are about to go to bed and suddenly that inch comes along and let's say that we go on sports bet, but the game will start in the next couple of hours, then we might have difficulty in sleeping and as if we take like 4 cups of coffee or a energy drink because we will for sure can't wait to see that game and hope that our stakes is going to win.
Whatever you are doing that involves money can make you worried and take sleep away from your eyes and for that we have to come to a conclusion on ultimate solution to that, which is to risk an amount that can not take sleep away from your eyes, if you think that $30 is the amount you can risk osn a bet, dont go above that if you know it takes away your peace of mind.

Aiming at the winning is good, but the most perfect way js to always set a limit to how much winning you want to take and exit the table for a while instead of chasing that direction so much that winning take sleep off your eyes.
