Mixing while tired

I've been super busy all week. Finally, I had a chance to just chill out and spin for awhile tonight. I was/am really tired due to all the stuff I've had to do, but I was still really excited to spin. Of course, I completely sucked. I'm rather new, so I expect to suck somewhat, but I mean, I sucked just as bad as the first time I tried my decks. It was horrible. Even the track selection sucked, nothing fit together at all.
I guess mixing while your tired just isn't a good idea. I recorded the mix, listened to the first mix just now, and I think I'll just delete it, the whole thing is one big piece of . |

performance on any skilled task (especially once that are not well learned) will decrease dramatically when tired.
I don't even bother spinning while tired....well unless I drink a beer or 4. either that or I will listen to some outstanding mixes and get pumped up...then I can mix pretty good. |

| Man... I can totally relate to you now. I was even thinking of posting how tired I've been lately and how much I wanna spin but I can't cause it never works for me like that. Crazy how that works... |

| Yeah I hear that...I've been putting together my promo for this month for the last 2 hours and there were times I couldn't even pitch bend properly. Oh well, off to bed. Sleep more! |

| Had the exact same problem for about a month (exams). I didn't have any fun spinning, not even new records or something. I think i've only spinned 5 hours or so in a month. Anyway, now i'm having fun all over again, very weird, because i feared i was already losing it (only been into this for 6 months now ;)) |

| I use to spin after only getting 4 hours sleep before... I could do it, but never satisfied with my tracklist. |

Oddly enough, I spin better prog house when I'm fatigued.
I have to be wide-freakin-awake to spin some energetic trance, though...otherwise it's just embarrasing. :o :whip: |

practicing when tired can really suck, although sometimes i end up getting into it and it turns out well, i noticed my best practice sessions are always right when i wake up
:D |

| Yes, mixing while tired is difficult, but the worst for me, is mixing if i feel sad for some reason. If i try to mix that way, the track selection is the worst possible... |

i get up at 5:30 every morning to go to school, and get home around 7:30 (basketball for 2 hours after school, and i live about an hour from school). then i shower, eat, and then do my work... sleep anywhere from 1-3.. not very healthy i know, but i make up the lost sleep in the weekends for sure. so yeah i usually dj when im tired, and i guess ive gotten used to it and am quite alright.
but i gotta admit, my best practice sessions are right when i wake up in the morning or after a nap :) |
