We have a direct correlation between gambling and neurochemical changes in our central nervous system. In relation to the "fight or flight" phenomenon, gamblers secrete much more Dopamine than a non gamblers thus producing electrophysiological and cognitive disturbances. Along with Dopamine receptors, we also increase our cortisol levels which is a "stress" hormone. When cortisol levels rise, our blood glucose is consumed so our brain tells us we need more sugar to compensate for our losses which is why we tend to crave simple carbs/sugars. I could write a thesis on this shit but you get the picture.

No wonder I drink so much soda while stressing out during a ball game or poker tournament.

beamjim...Hey buddy, it's been awhile
My previous post was somewhat generic though I wanted the forum to realize their is a direct correlation between gambling and healh, CNS & adrenal function, in particular. To answer your question as to what we need to do to maintain homeostasis, it's relative to the individual. However, in general, the best thing to do is exercise with periods of aerobic activity as aerobics decreases cortisol levels. Vitamin C....1000 mg/day reduces cortisol. Stay away from caffeine as it increases cortisol levels. Insomia increases cortisol levels so if you have trouble sleeping you may want to try melatonin capsules. Just remember, without exercise, gambling may potentiate weight gain, depression, insomnia, heart disease, digestive problems, etc. which is all associated with adrenal function and CNS.
As for your sleeping disturbance, has anyone suggested to you that you might have sleep apnea? Have you ever been tested? In any case, stress could be a leading factor to your sleep disturbance. Changing a few habits could help you significantly. A simple checkup can answer a lot of questions you may have....sleep study to rule out apnea, get your thyroid checked, get your blood drawn to rule out a variety of abnormalities including high cortisol levels.
The two things that really help me is to win more bets than I lose and fuck a lot. I'll take her in the room and fuck at halftime if I need to.....it really does the trick
