Five times a week for me, just on KGS or IGS atm.
But only about two times a week very serious: the other three times are most often to calm down, try something new or being tired and to "shut down" my brain ;-)

Absolutely, I sleep well afterwards.
Hasn´t been the case some years ago when I took my Rank serious and got emotional sometimes, I have to add.

It makes sense that go can be restful.

If you're 100% focused on go, you will be 0% focused on things you don't want to think about.

I'm also very pleased to see that the troll responses to the poll have all received votes. It's why I put them there, and I feel successful.

If I play before bed I start seeing tsumgeo like things from the game in my head, sleep does not then come so easily.

Same here, plus a particularly bad game, even played in the morning, will come back to haunt me at night[emoji30] I envy those who can be more detached, but I guess this is work in progress.
