I do not think this is that abnormal. For me, it happens with any type of game I play. And it happens mostly when I'm excited about the game in question. This works both ways, and it's also there when I'm frustrated about it. I will replay the match in my head, and try to spot out my mistakes if I can. I think it's very normal to be excited by something you are interested in.

In your case though, if you are having THIS hard a time sleeping, I would say you probably should not be playing the game before/around your bedtime.

Yeah, I dunno what you be talking about. Your lucky if Go is the thing that keeps you awake. I'd much rather be thinking too much about that then some other things.

OMG yes! I find myself thinking of new moves and strategies, different extensions and reductions, or I just imagine a L&D situation playing out.

Usually, it just means I log onto KGS again at 3 a.m. or so. :D

Years ago, I used to play go a lot in the evening. I would keep playing, and ended up not sleeping enough regularly. I gave up. I never play after dinner any more (except in some rare cases for a KGS tournament). I am fortunate that I work at home, and can play during the day, though, which most people can't...
