Trading Forex Tips - Routine & Dicipline Part 2

Success begins with proper sleep. As discussed on the page Understanding Sleep on the NINDS website (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke), adults need between 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night to function properly the next day. You cannot ‘compensate’ for lost sleep via caffeine or any other means; your body will eventually force you to catch up on lost sleep and the time you spend in a sleep deficit will be time spent with your cognitive abilities impaired and running far below their peak.
Needless to say, trying to trade or analyse the market and adhere to your trading plan whilst in a sleep deficit, is just not going to work. Perhaps the first and most important way to ensure a proper trading routine is by making sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep per night.
