Have you ever gambled throughout the night, from late evening until the next day morning before hitting the sack. Have you had a marathon poker or mahjong session? Where players keep betting for hours without going to sleep?
Gamble addicts... similar to coffee addicts,... become alert whenever they are gambling. This because the brain releases some chemical that keeps the mind in a state of excitement. Though the body is physically tired, but the mind is very alert. It's like being drugged, except that the drug is poker or mahjong.
So, eventually when the gambling session is over, reality starts to kick-in and the gambler hits the sack and fall asleep... sometimes sleeping for 12 hours to one whole day.
Not getting enough sleep definitely will hamper the gambling performance. Imagine you're playing poker... how do you expect to calculate the odds properly when you're half asleep? If you're a blackjack card counter, then how do you expect to count the cards properly when you're tired?
Another danger when betting during lack of sleep is... you might be impatient to lose all the money and then go to bed. Yes, this sounds illogical, but your subconcious mind could urge you do to just this so you can stop gambling and goto bed faster.
