Seems obvious, right? Most people brush it off anyway.
But here's what separates successful traders from the rest: in crypto, your mental edge is everything. You can't make sharp decisions when you're running on fumes, your body's depleted, or your system's flooded with toxins. The market doesn't care about your excuses.
Keep it simple. Fuel your body properly, cut back on the drinking, get your hours in. Your portfolio will thank you. Your brain will thank you. And in a game where milliseconds matter, that clarity becomes your competitive advantage.

That's right, but I'm still in holiday mode. When will I be able to kick these bad habits...

Honestly, my sleep quality is really terrible, no wonder I always react a beat late when the market moves.

Ngl, this way of saying it is tired, the people who really make money should have known long ago.

Regarding sleep quality, you're right, but quitting alcohol? Dream on, buddy.

Here comes this kind of motivational speech again. When the market crashes, no matter how well you eat or how soundly you sleep.
---
So, a clear mind can indeed help avoid pitfalls, but it can't prevent being caught in a trap.
---
I just want to know, does better sleep mean you can successfully buy the dip?
---
This might be okay to tell retail investors, but institutions operate 24/7 and can still mess you up.

Still the same, good condition also depends on luck. No matter how much I practice health, I can't avoid volatility.

NGL, that's pretty true, but how many people can really stick to it? Anyway, after the holiday, I'm back to the cycle of staying up late + grilling skewers + beer.

Really, these three days after the holiday, I am the living example of the opposite. I was still confused while watching the market yesterday.
Honestly, sleep is the most critical issue. Staying up all night completely destroys decision-making, and that's always how I lose money.
I really need to quit drinking. My friend partied hard during the holiday and came back only to be immediately educated by the market, haha.
Simple and straightforward: eat well, sleep well, and don't drink. Even a one-second faster reaction can allow you to cut another wave of chives, or else you'll be the one getting cut.
Post-holiday reset: getting back to normal
So the festive season's wrapped up, but there's still one last celebration happening before we slide back into our usual rhythm.
Here's the thing though—during this transition period, three basics become surprisingly critical:
• Nutrition matters
• Alcohol consumption
• Sleep quality
