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.

Yes, it is true that when someone is gambling and winning, they may not feel like sleeping. The joy of winning can be so strong that it won’t allow sleep to cross someone's face. I have experienced that before.I am the type of person who usually sleeps early. By 8 pm or 9pm, I’m already in bed trying to sleep. At the latest, I’m off to bed by then. But there was a day I decided to gamble. I logged into my betting account and went straight to the virtual games. I placed a bet two times and lost, so I started feeling sleepy. But I decided to try one more time and I won

After that win, I kept on playing. I keep experiencing wins that night, and to my surprise, I continued gambling until morning without sleeping. So yes, the joy of winning can keep some people awake.However, for others, even if they’re winning, they still need to sleep. So, I would say we are not all the same not everyone gets so excited by winning that they lose sleep over it.
