I have never lost sleep over gambling.I don't want the gambling effect too much in my life. I don't want it to happens to me! You know, some people sometimes have a bad mood all day because of losing .
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.
if you're spending money you can't afford to lose, get some help or counseling for your gambling.

Luckily I have never lost sleep over gambling. I've always gambled within my means and kept my bets semi-low. If you're having trouble with gambling and losing sleep over your losses it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate your addiction. Please, if you're spending money you can't afford to lose, get some help or counseling for your gambling.
Lucky for you mate. Frankly speaking, this was my very first time to engaged in such act of self inflected gambling addition. I have seen many addict's and their end results; this has been my fears of not getting addicted while I gamble but was caught unaware in the act of gambling that caused me #30,000. As you have rightly said, I need to checkmate myself in order to avoid future occurrence.

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.
Drinking is injurious to health so it's not a good way to get sleep or try to forget your loss. I try to spend time with my family when I lose abs they really give me strength and I become Happy again so I can sleep because I know to lose and profit both are part of life especially a gambler should be strong enough to face all this and even then should sleep peacefully at night.

I think when someone has difficulty in sleeping, no matter he is a gambler or not, and he needs to visit the doctor and ask that doctor to help him. Maybe the doctor will give medicine to him, but the important thing is he needs to relax before he sleeps. Forget about what he did for a while, and just relax and don't think about something that will make you sad. Maybe he can imagine something beautiful while he closes his eyes, and hear relaxation music will help him too.
And I agree this is anxiety and should be deal with the earliest possible time if you cannot stop this anxiety, it will become a depression and this will ruin your life, you need help if you develop these kinds of symptoms, this is one of the harm of excessive gambling and should be deal with immediately.
Suffering from this kinds of symptom without taking any good action will only cause you more worse. You have to be more
precise addressing this issue and take proper action.

Obviously, the doctor will be asking what runs in your mind that made it hard to sleep. Another thing is that he will be asking how long is this happening and as a gambler, it doesn't happen that much since we just have that selected parts where we regretted so much we did or happened. This depends on the person whether music relax them, sometimes there are some activities before sleeping that other people help. A partner most of the time helps a lot

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"
I feel sorry for you, buddy. That was really an unfortunate turn of events. Anyway, I never went with that condition so far, although I lose sometimes but I tend to forget it when I feel to sleepy, 'cause the regret used to hit me hard in the morning, and to cover it up 'cause I don't wanna get my day already bad, I just keep on looking forward hoping that my next shot when I am about to gamble, that the luck will always be in my favor. IMO, the mood plays a great factor whenever you gamble because it will help you be cautious on your current expenses, total money won, and as well total money loss, so as much as I can I don't wanna ruined the day. Anyway, buddy difficulty in sleeping due to such isn't totally bad but remember always that it has side effect to your health.

the problem is if the player has no self control in this things change and gambling becomes a Bad area of living but the truth is?we are the one whos responsible for our mistakes.

Yes, since I feel like luck is not on my side, I always having a hard time to sleep every time I finished playing gambling.
Though I only gamble with the excess money I have, it is still hard for me to lose that money because every time I play I always hope that I can win and try to double the amount of money I gamble.

I really don't get people like this. I mean why bother playing gambling if you knew to yourself that it won't do any good to you, that if you lost your money, somehow it will gives you a little bit of depression that will give you a very hard time on sleeping or whatever it is. Also, if you know that you're not lucky in gambling, why still bother playing it if you value even that excess money of yours?
Being practical will solve your problem. We don't need to listen every time to our urges in playing or doing something we're not confident, especially gambling.
not all can fight the urge to click the ROLL button. but i don't feel like i can't sleep after. i have been playing but i always stop once i lose some money that i could have bought for a decent meal or two. one cause that i might not be able to sleep is if i don't have money soon to pay my bills and food for myself and my kid.
Exactly my point, you're lacking in self-love if you always let your urge win when it comes to addiction (bad addiction), because think about it, I'm going to use your scenario as an example since you said you have a kid, if you are really a responsible parent that thinks about your kid, you shouldn't be able to think about gambling, because you have your own responsibilities, you're a parent, not a teenager anymore or a bachelor that only feed himself, no, we have to be more mature in order to cast out all of the bad habits, in my opinion in order to secure our children's future.
E D I T: Every penny counts.

I have felt it when I put gambling as side income, yeah I really do that when I was newbie to gamble. Collecting my saving money to play gambling because I had more confident that I can double my money, but it was wrong and I lost a huge money and I can't sleep well in a few night, I just scared when night will come.
You can't avoid it as long as you put gambling as your side income, or you put it as place for you to recover your money. Agree mate, if you a little saving please don't come to gambling especially if you are a gambler before. You will be regreted it because you will force yourself to play it moreover if your government has decide to make an announchment stay at home policy.

There is a big chance that the gambler is suffering from too much stress or worse depression because of what happened to him that is why the best thing to do is to consult to a doctor and he can help you with what you are experiencing.~
TBH, if you really lost a huge amount of money in gambling it is hard to get relax but that is the best thing to do and think of what will you do next in order to recover your losses. Going sad and depressed because of your losses will not help you. I have experienced losing huge amounts of money too in gambling and it was ok for me instead of getting sad. I chose to think of a next step and find a way to recover it. I hope that this is the thing the OP should do instead of not sleeping consecutive nights.

Gambling is mostly about negative experience, because the chances of winning is always lower than the chances of losing, therefore I'm not surprised, to be honest. In this time of crisis, money is even more important to buy foods and groceries so that we'll be able to survive without exposing ourselves outside working or whatever we're doing until the virus will be fully managed.
This is not the time for us to think about gambling, instead we should be practical first and think about our future, because what if we lost the money we saved for 1 month lockdown because of the virus? we would die starving if not because of the virus, it is our choice, so we have to make it count.

Most of the time gambling gives me an undesired mood because every time I made a decision and lose my profit or income it is full of regret that I made a single mistake that causes my money to lose and gone immediately and that is not quite good because it really affects on our mental health because being stressful to things can give us damage to our body that we did not expect like having a heart attack and difficult sleep because of getting depressed about the gambling and it is too hard to forget because of most of the time while we are lonely and deeply thinking sometimes we remember our mistakes.

I experienced not to have a good sleep in gambling once because i didn't have the chance to get back all of my losses that i lose a huge amount of money, that is why i regret that night to play gambling. Then i also realized that not to be sad about it because i chose to gamble rather than doing other things in gambling, so next time i should learn how to control myself in gambling for me not to lose a lot of money again.

I agree with this. If you can't take your losses then step back in gambling and don't never ever gamble again. Before gambling, you must know the risk and consequences that you might face if you lose your money. Being sleepless in many consecutive nights is a sign that you are not suitable for gambling and you must don't gamble again since you can't take your losses. Keeping your bets low is one way to prevent regretting in the end if you loss or just put an amount that will not make you feel bad if you lose it since gamblers most of the time end up losing all of their money.
No need for reevaluation if you are experiencing this. Not sleeping for many nights. The best thing to do is to not to gamble anymore and focus on other things.
