But you've got a G2, then two G1s to go my friend. You can do it.
Australian racing
That's whats so annoying, im going to see out the Grp2 but I know come the Grp1's I won't have focus
I need to get into the habit of being able to grab a few hours in the evening and get up around midnight
Skip a nights sleep - you don't have to be trading, and the next day you should be tired enough to sleep whenever you want.
I've been told on a CBT course I did years ago that the sleep cycle is two hours for most people, so multiples of two hours are always best to aim for.
If I did that I wouldn't be fresh enough for the afternoon UK stuff so really need to find away of grabbing a few hours between 6pm-12amDerek27 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 4:32 amSkip a nights sleep - you don't have to be trading, and the next day you should be tired enough to sleep whenever you want.

Maybe an earlier rise of around 3am-4am the morning before might do the trick
Good luck anyway for the rest of the card guys
I highly recommend reading Why We Sleep.
Sleep is massively under rated in the modern world imo and quite a few people wear as a badge of honour how little sleep they 'need' and how they are an early riser.
As my doctor brother told me, it is one of the best medicines you can get, problem is the pharmaceutical industry can't charge you for it so they don't like it being prescribed!

I wouldn't recommend skipping a nights sleep at all and wouldn't suggest getting up early on the day thinking it will mean you get to sleep easier at 6pm.

My pattern on normal meetings is to get some sleep the night before and get up early. The kids laugh at me because I can seem to sleep anywhere. It's a useful skill. I seem to be able to cope with much less sleep now than a few years ago. Maybe an age-related thing?
This is also worth a watch this week, it is only available for another 5 days:
Body Clock: What Makes Us Tick?
We all have a biological clock ticking away inside us that governs our daily rhythms. This affects our health as much as our diet and whether we exercise. So what can we do to manage this internal clock better?
To find out, evolutionary biologist Ella Al-Shamahi locks former commando Aldo Kane in an abandoned nuclear bunker with no way of telling the time - for ten days. Monitored around the clock by a team of scientists, he carries out a barrage of tests to uncover exactly what makes our body clock tick.
Above ground, Ella meets two time-starved couples to test the latest thinking on how we can manage our body clocks better. In trying to improve their sleep, and their lives, she uncovers practical advice that we can all take on board. Studies on shift workers show that regularly disrupting our sleep makes us more at risk of diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. So getting to grips with our biological clock couldn't be more important.

Definitely, we all need less sleep as we get older.Euler wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 4:45 amMy pattern on normal meetings is to get some sleep the night before and get up early.

Regarding sleep I used to work nights starting at 10 or 11pm, ended up having to sleep twice a day to cope, used to play havoc with mindset, got work in an hour so unable to get involved in any Aussie shenanigans. Good luck to all in these smallish hours.
I am finding it much better in the last hour, markets starting to become more lively and pulling in some better results.
I had a day-time job, problem was I would stay up all night drinking and then fall asleep at work.
