Thanks for your post. As a curiosity how do you keep into account the sleeping cycle? I am unable to go to sleep before 2 am, but then I need to wakeup at 10am.
I think this is my circadian rhythm. Is there a way to change the sleep cycles?
In the name of K.I.S.S. my rule of thumb has been; don't eat/drink/sleep like a train-wreck and you will avoid trading like one. For me, obsessing over calories and macros takes mental energy that can be spent on other more fulfilling pursuits.
You kind of have to guesstimate it lol. Each cycle is estimated at 90 minutes a little less/more but around that ballpark. Then estimate when you think you'll fall asleep. The "clock" starts ticking after you fall asleep.
So a good way to gauge it is to know when you'll wake up then count backwards in 90 minute chunks.
If you can only sleep after 2am but wake up at 10am then that's an 8 hour window you can play with. With that you can get 5 cycles equaling 7.5 hours of sleep (90 minutes × 5 = 7.5 hours). A good target for you to fall asleep would around 2:30am.
FYI: I learned that the best way to wake up "refreshed" is to try to wake up at the END of a sleep cycle. If you wake up in the middle of a sleep cycle and interrupt REM sleep then you will wake up very groggy even if you slept plenty of hours. This is true with me. There are times I slept only 4.5 hours waking up more alert that waking up after 7 hours.
i know this has nothing to do with nutrition and this is going to sound kinda stupid but if you get stressed while trading.. an easy way to quickly relax a bit is to sniff some lavender oil
research chromium gtf.. read reviews from people who order it, ok many of them are diabetic but still it does good even when people aren't - like reduces desire to eat sugar
