Applies to online and live.

What mindset should one try to be in in the gap between day 1 and day 2?

Or: what should you be doing on this break? What should you be thinking of? Assume it's a big tournament, especially to you.

be healthy, lots of water, nutritious food like fruit veges. Meditate in the morning before going in get heaps of sleep the night before.

If you can try to have a good bath or sauna just to wind down and clear your mind. Try to go over what strategies you will look to try to follow in day 2 and intentions and goals.

do not go out party, drink, smoke do drugs, stay up late, play more poker, whoring etc. also make sure you have a nice healthy breakfast in the morning. Eggs is good because its a high source of protein, also a big glass of orange juice for its vitamin c content. Great way to start the day

Skip the Orange Juice tho that stuff is sugary rubbish. Have an orange if you want vitamin c

Disagree, a good shag will provide you a good night's rest imo

Or maybe you can just drink fresh orange juice. ^^

I've had 1.5 hours sleep from 5:30am till 8am and then have been at work all day. Sure it will be fine. Might as well have a whiskey.
