Viva Las VegACE
Quote: rdw4potus1. Welcome back!
Thanks!!! Glad to be back
Quote: rdw4potus2. Vegas arrivals coming from the west happen in the middle of the night. The graveyard bellman is probably alone and schlepping bags for the small number of Asian guests checking in.
Ahhhh duly noted
Quote: rdw4potus3. it's not a service for *you* that the ice must be delivered, it's a service for the other guests who now don't need to hear the ice machine at 3am:-)
I get it - but I am not sure I have ever heard someone using an ice machine while staying in a hotel
Quote: rdw4potus4. Palace Station? Green Valley Ranch? Who ARE you? :-) GVR is a great place. Quiet, great rooms, good food...but I don't think they have even one straight 3:2 blackjack table.
I wasn't there to play - a friend of mine who loves out here picked me up from the airport and decided to show me some locals places I've never been to
As for the sleep, I too (when left to my own devices) always seem to keep a pretty nocturnal schedule. The best way, without a doubt, if you've stayed up through the night, is to force yourself to stay up until 10pm-11pm the next night then crash. If it requires 5 hour energies, red bulls, etc, then do it. Honestly though, some adderall would also do the trick if you have a prescription or someone else you know does. Next best step is to get 'one hell of a workout' in during the day and you should be pretty darn tired that evening, so you could always try that too.
The anticipation of the chips on the table and the cards hitting the felt... Good variance AOS!

That being said, I fell asleep again about 6:45 and just woke up - I guess 3 hours sleep here and there is my new schedule (polyphasic sleep)

YES - that is today's plan - thank you
Quote: beachbumbabsWorked a swing swing day day mid every week for 20+ years. The only thing that works is a short nap of no more than 90 minutes,.and force yourself to stay awake until 11pm, then go to bed with all lights/sounds eliminated. Make yourself go back to sleep until at least 5 am, pref. 7am, then no naps again until 11pm. You should then be mostly reset.
That sounds like a rough schedule you worked
Sleep is such an easy thing that is so tough
Quote: SiegfriedRoyAOS! Couldn't believe my eyes that you were back. I was just in Vegas! I Wish the cards fall favorably for you this trip.
Thank you so much - going to get my day started here with a shower and breakfast

I just have to suck it up and do whatever I got to do and catch up on my sleep when I'm done.
Enough with the ice already, let's get to the good stuff.
Quote: AxelWolfWhenever I know I have to be somewhere early the next day, I have a very hard time getting to sleep. I will end up falling asleep just a few hours before I have to get up

Two shots of jim beam and a shot of Nyquil pm you will be asleep in 30 min max and get 8 hours in
Actually, true... Just get a bit drunk and eat a pound or two of ribs. You'll pass out and snooze hard for a full nights sleep =).Quote: troopscottTwo shots of jim beam and a shot of Nyquil pm you will be asleep in 30 min max and get 8 hours in
I'm enjoying the photos. Good luck at the tables.

I spoke to one of the housekeepers about the ice machines and she informed me that, when she was hired, she asked why the ice machine rooms were closed off to guests -- they told her that too many times, people had been caught having sex in those rooms and management finally decided to just end the chances of that happening

Palace Station - had dinner there last night

Nah, you gotta eat cat food, huff glue, and chug some beer. Makes you feel all sick and tired then you just kinda fall asleep.

Hey now you’re an all star
Quote: aceofspadesAnyone deal with prolonged insomnia and altered sleep schedules? For the past 6 months, my body has somehow converted to being nocturnal. Some days I sleep 3 hours -- then the next day I will sleep 15 hours -- I have tried sleeping pills but they leave me in a fog the next day - I really want to get back to a normal schedule ( you know, sleeping 11pm - 7am ± )
Like right now, I am wide awake and thinking of going to play, but then, I can foresee myself sleeping all day and losing out on a day in Vegas by staying in bed
Funny you mention insomnia. Ive just tried educating everyone on how to cure it in the process of living a better and healthier life. Want to fix your sleeping patterns? Stop eating all day and have a massive meal at night. If you want to, have a piece of fruit(something low glycemic) during the day at the most and adopt this lifestyle going forward. Let me know if you ever suffer from insomnia again.

He said the guys first name. I thought it was that poker guy with the last name Polk.

So sad. This is what happens when society is brainwashed that pills and medicine is the answer because they know so little about how their bodies actually work.
I think I saw that on the Dr. Oz show, solid advice.Quote: RSNah, you gotta eat cat food, huff glue, and chug some beer. Makes you feel all sick and tired then you just kinda fall asleep.
Well, I guess I'll go first and say "welcome back".
- Wait, what, I'm not the first ? OK, nevermind.
I’ve tried all different methods - pills, food, melatonin - the pills and melatonin work but I am in a fog the next day

I think Dr. Oz would need a stool sample - seems the only clips I ever see are of him discussing poop
Quote: JohnnyQWhat about an appointment with Dr Oz ? Are you willing to try eating (canned) cat food ?
I’m going to have to say no to that — unless it brings me good luck
Quote: SiegfriedRoyHey AOS, I am enjoying your blogs at epicesquire.com. Your host at Mohegan sounds like a total tool. What ended up happening? You should request a different host. I had somebody similar at a CET property, and emailed the Director and demanded a new host. The new host opened a lot more doors than I had previously experienced. My old host was shortchanging me the whole time.
Since then, I’ve just been booking direct - she did nothing for me

Just listen to what im telling you. The reason you cant sleep is because your whole body is going in different directions. I bet you get a lot of headaches as well during the day.
STOP eating during the day. Implement an intermittent fasting regimen to your life. Start off slow with 12 hr fasts, then 14 hrs, then 16 hrs and eventually get to 20 hrs. Sleep counts as part of the fast. The fasting time begins after your last meal. Once you complete your daily fast, eat a nice big meal and see if you ever have problems sleeping again at night.

Nope no headaches
I tried intermittent fasting years ago - don’t recall it having any effect, positive or negative, on my sleep
It is stress that is doing this to me
Quote: aceofspadesWalked down to Planet Hollywood - only one table in High limit and it was Reserved
Blackjack? Pl hollywood has several 3-2 tables open during the day and during the night they open the pit next to hi-limit which consists of five 3-2 8 deck shoes and 1 DD 3-2 game.

I bet you did it improperly and had short fasting cycles and not one big meal at night.
