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"

a well-deserved consequence. why the hell would you gamble the money if you can't afford to lose it? you risked your family's well being to get a chance of earning some extra money? If I were you I would come clean to my family members and start to think of a solution. if you decide to keep this mess to yourself the consequence will be worse your family finds out about it on a critical moment.

I once lost a lot of money gambling when I first started out dice gaming, bitcoin was like free back on those days and it wasn't really a lot of money so I thought it would be nothing. So I gambled and lost and bitcoin price moved up a little while later, that really made me sad. It wasn't really "being a gambling addict that lost a lot of money" type of situation, I was still doing fine and didn't spend a dime economically, but the fact that I lost money, just not the money I have but the money I could have instead, which kept me awake for a while.

Honestly it was never too severe, I gamble constantly and I spend like 1-2 bucks a day so even though I lose almost all the time, it is not really that big of a deal for me at all, its money I am willing to lose.

I do experience sleepless nights but not because of gambling. But yes, it's tempting us to gamble more since we are stuck in our houses and the things we can do are very limited so gambling can be our option to spend our time. But you know that we are not staying at our houses for vacation. There's a crisis that our world is experiencing. We should always prioritize what is essential. In this time of crisis, we need extra money for food and necessities so I hope we should think first before giving everything we have for gambling.

Gambling is very hard to resist especially in this time of lockdown but we need to be a smart gambler. Let our brain works not our emotions. Gamble when you have extra money after allocating your family budget. That's a lesson for all of us. Know our priorities.

And btw, we can't say that the amount is not that big because we are not in the same classes. We have a different standard of living and if for you that's just a small amount of money but for others, it's not. And we know how hard the situation is since not everyone can go to work due to community quarantine. Not everyone has extras savings to feed their families for the whole month of quarantine.

I got sleeping issues way back when the time I got myself addicted to playing gambling. The regrets after a whole day playing on a gambling site makes me wonder all night and realizing the wrong things I do after the session after playing. I develop this kind of sleeping habit each day until it becomes my daily thing to do and it affects me badly in terms of sleeping hours because I waste my time every night thinking.

My sleeping issues slow down when I decided to change and to slowdown playing gambling. I don't lose or gain too much money that's why there aren't things that are making me think all night whether I do the right thing or not.

Literally or to be exact there is really sometimes that I am having a difficulty when I am sleeping because on what happened on the gambling session that I have been played just for example if I am losing until I go home then probably it would be really so hard to sleep because you will think about what why you have been lose and you will think that the money you gamble instead you buy some things that can make you happy.

Every stress can cause insomnia, that's a well known fact. If you go into heavy debt that you cannot repay you'll also have trouble sleeping and is there even a difference between losing money at a casino or going into debt? In both cases the effect is the same - you're out of money and you need to get it somehow.
To get better you need to deal with the sickness not the symptoms. The sickness is lack of money, not insomnia. Come clean, tell your family you lost the money, get a job and earn it back, case closed.

This problem of difficulty in sleeping can't be limited only in a gambling loss. When we think too much about something, it causes our brain to be more active, analyzing the things that happened and might happen. This could be related to your conscience, a mistake that have affected not only you but, also other people. For me, it would be better to correct this mistake by accepting what happen and honestly tell your family of the tragedy, it is better than attempting to take another risk, accept your responsibility and be true.

30000 NGN? Isn't that just 80 dollars? Don't worry about it OP it's not something you cannot earn again.

That fund was meant for the family upkeep and was solely meant for that. The money look very small right? But for me not small at all!, what you just saw is my monthly earning which the family are aware of and it is now lost in gambling.

We currently have 35 confirmed cases and some believed to be on self isolation, remember the 15 House of Representatives that were confirmed carrier, also, one confirmed dead this morning. I regret gamble with that fund in the first place.

I experienced that before where I cannot sleep because I keep remembering the time that I lose big amount of money, it is my first time to lose 5 digits and it have emotional impact to me. The bad thing is I am not mentally prepared and that is why it became burden in that day but I manage to accept it because it is the way in order for me to move on. For those people who lose big amount of money in gambling, stay strong where you need to be always physically and mentally prepared to handle different unexpected situations.

I can still sleep mate, I experience losing a big amount of money too in my journey as a gambler, but I know the technique to sleep well, I drink a lot until I get drunk and actually there is no difference when I win in gambling as I also love to drink spending the money that I won, so I have no problem like yours.

Definitely not. I used to play before going to sleep way back. Even the results is loss I can still sleep like the usual. Thinking too much won't make any change in the result. Just sleep and play again tomorrow hoping you'll win next time. Those who only have difficulty in sleeping because of gambling are those very emotional player or maybe those player who loss the money reserved for basic needs or for more important things.

I have a sleeplessness night on my big losses it's actually my 15 days salary, I have to take a loan to cover my losses, and took me two months to pay that loan with big interest, of course, people should really gamble, what they can afford to lose or else they will end up taking a loan to cover your losses since then I never gamble with my salary.

Sometimes, when I lose and win too much.

When I lose too much, I can't stop blaming myself and that will not only take 24 hours, I can always remember that and the only solution to that is when I can get back my loses. Also, When I won a lot, I can't sleep well due to the big excitement I am feeling, I am already thinking how to spend the money I won and I always remember my strategy on how I win games, these are based on my experience but I would prefer having a trouble in sleeping because I won than when I lose money.

It's our body's response to the frustations. In my case, when I lose huge amount in gambling, I do sleep to and get better afterwards. But there are also some times that I can't sleep when I win big and I lose big. That's the truth. If you are an optimistic gambler, thinking that you can recover your losses if not tomorrow then for the upcoming days, then you can set aside bad emotions and can sleep with a positive mind.

This is gambling. Remember that we can not get easy money here and house always win at the end. So, acceptance is just the only key to start all over again if we lose.

Gambling won't give you any assurance on the possible result of your decision so even if it turns out bad, you have no other choice but to accept it. Personally, I haven't experienced having trouble sleep because of gambling. I usually gamble with my extra money and there's some circumstances that I lose, but I manage to handle my emotions despite of feeling remorse with my own decisions. It takes time to learn to control yourself and emotions. Sometimes your mistakes and experiences will make you realized how it negatively affects you way of thinking and emotions.

You own the pen

Surely today is not a good day to waste our money with gambling, we need to know that our current situation right now is getting worse. we can see in social media where foods are scarce and jobs are suspended. what we have now on our possession is the only thing we can assure that we have. We cannot hope for those earnings to come unless our cities will operate normally again. We need to be vigilant in every matter right now because pandemic is not a joke, we need to save money as much as we can.

I am not really used in gambling but I think gambling can also makes us difficult to sleep because it is like our habit in our life, personally speaking, I am so used in playing online games and it makes me difficult to sleep because of the feeling that I want when playing, when I want to sleep, I keep saying that this is my last game for this day but it won't happen because I am still playing and playing. I think that is similar on what gamblers can feel while playing.

I do have some disturbance in sleeping if i bet on a match which is still in progress and it is night at my country. I try to sleep but could not sleep properly due to curiosity of who will win the match and whether i will be able to win the bet or not.

You just get stressed for the situation and been worried for the losses what you encountered so best o move on mate since its not really helpful to think that since the more you think the more sadness you get, so just think that you lost it accidentally and move on since that's the life of the gamblers and best to learn from this mistake to be more responsible gambler next time.

Conscience and regret will bother you every time you go to bed. It will cause you to have some stressful nights thinking of the things that you've done after those losses in gambling. Thinking of the possible happenings if you didn't lose all your money. Always think critically before doing an action to make sure that you'll never regret everything you've done. Also be accountable of your actions to prevent self-regret and being stressful about the results in gambling. Don't gambling before you sleep, instead gambling in the morning so that if you have a hard time gambling, you can relax and think of positive vibes that will help you move on from the losses in gambling.

Honestly, before I started gambling, I learned how to do a proper management of my money to minimize my losses. I tried to do manipulation so that from time to time, my losses are not that huge enough to cause me some panic or stress. Most especially when I'm in my zone, If I'm continuously winning, I will just keep all my winnings and saved it so that I have a spare money to gamble for. I always limit the money I've spent because there are more budgets that I should prioritize not just only gambling. I learned a lot in trading because I practiced self-discipline and controlling my emotion just by trading and having a lot of transactions, that helped me a lot to become a wise gambler. If you're not lucky enough to win in gambling, then you should make some strategies on how you will minimize your losses to prevent stress and sleeplessness at night.

Difficulty to sleep, I remember this when I was addicted to mobile online games. Yes, that was different from gambling but they had the same impact on your self. If you are desperately want to earn money and you have been huge losses in gambling of course in your mind you want to chase on it. And you might be thinking about what the next strategy that you will win. You should control this kind of feeling and emotion because it is bad for your health and wealth.

That's why we always say that line here that always gamble that you can afford to lose. If the limit will be reached either you will win or lose you must stop.

I feel if I made something wrong, not just in gambling but also in the other things, that can make me have difficulty sleeping because I will think about how that can happen. But then I realize that it is wrong because that won't solve the problem, so I try to let it flow, and I will try to sleep, although it is difficult. Later, I feel that if I know that something wrong happens again, I don't try to think with hard, but I will take a rest for a while, take a deep breath, and maybe I will try to sleep. And after I woke up, I will try to search for the mistake, and usually, that is work for me. So related to your problem, maybe you need to learn about limiting yourself in gambling, so you don't get the same experience as before, and that will help you to sleep well.
