I finally won 8 straight games of online chess at 3am and I'm pretty sure my brain works better when I'm exhausted
Last Tuesday I couldn't sleep so I opened chess.com around 1am and just started playing blitz. I won 8 in a row, which never happens, and one guy even typed 'are you a bot?' in the chat. By 3:30am I was ranked higher than I've been in 2 years. I think being tired shut off the part of my brain that overthinks every move. Does anyone else play better when they're running on zero sleep or is this just me?

Staying up till 3am kills your inner critic so your gut just plays the move.
