So if I'm posting a journal about trading it was a factor in my trading day.
(I think SoftSoap did a study and found if his sleep was less than a certain number of hours then the chances of a losing day were substantially increased.}
The trigger can be "pillow problems" causing a pressure point at the base of the neck. Frankly I don't worry about them and do my best to clear them from my mind and make ready for the new day.
Generally acceptance of conditions is part of our trading situation. For example, I trade on an underpowered laptop. Well it is what it is. We need to move forward and succeed despite conditions.

Another NR day too narrow to trade according to my rules (see first page), however I have made some trades.
I made a little quick one near the open. I really wasn't ready for the sim trade and was thinking it could be a setup for a short trade cash - though it wasn't - but that was extra time.
At this point in the day I start to fade an want a nap (to catch up on the short sleep the night before), There are many things I would like to build - improvements - but I get very tired with these long days. (I'm working 24/7).
To show how silly this is I was working late at Starbucks, where I go for a change of place/pace, and this acquaintance asked:
"Anything planned for tonight?"
It was close to 9pm
-just work. I'll work til closing, go home and make some dinner, eat it and go to bed.
rinse, wash, repeat.
You may wonder where this strange loquaciousness has sprung from?
