pro player, routines

[luckystraights]

I'm suffering with burn out, and need to come up with a routine to manage my time more effectively, was just wondering if some of you could bounce ideas with me.

The best time to do any mental activity such as poker is in the first 8 hours after waking, which I can do, but the prime time for the tables is way later like 5pm or later ET.

I'm looking to play for a minimum of 6 hours each day, no other fixed commitments, just not sure how best to jiggle sessions around to balance mental alertness and prime time for the tables.

Any ideas, how do you guy's cope playing after work?

Thanks.

How about going to sleep a lot later and waking up after noon?

had that recommended to me, I'll probably start doing that. Other option I was considering was to grind 2/3 my volume in the morning then other 1/3 if tables are good at prime time.

I can't do the wake up at midnight and grind till 9am thing again tho.

This is what I do.  I also think a light workout before your session can be great.  Also, eat some good energy/brain good during your session.  Just little things.  Yogurt, nuts, fruit, carrot sticks, etc.

Save the caffeine, soda, coffee, etc for late in the night when you are at a couple FTs!!

yeah my sleeping patern is off set like this, I still don't have much of a routine tho, generally wake up and play until my volume target is reached. Its what comes after is pretty hard tho, too tired for much of anything afterwards, but naps at this point seem to just kill half my day.
