One will sleep soundly through the night or not affected by sleep are those who never invest in USA market I suppose. If you are only trading SG stocks or other Asia markets, maybe you won't be losing sleep at night so much as the market closes at 5:30pm SGT.
I lose my sleep the most when I first started. Got excited when US market opens at 9:30pm or 10:30pm SGT depending on season. When one gets excited and being new, the time spent staring at the numbers jumping till late hours sounded quite silly. Days where US news announced such as Non farm payroll, CPI also can cause drastic changes. Worse was, I was an intraday trader and I stupidly traded gold and Fx. The fast movement not only caused me sleepless night but also heart attacks.
Now I remain as long term investor so the big drop doesn't make me worry much and drop FX and gold for good. FX, if you know how to do it, is a fast cash but high risk.
