Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Cognitive Abilities and Emotional Regulation
Sleep deprivation has been reported to be associated with impaired decision-making ability (9), increased impulsivity (37) and risk-taking when there is a chance of financial gain (32, 34). Research has shown that impaired cognitive ability increases with sleep deprivation (38). Emotional regulation has also been shown to be greatly affected by sleep deprivation. In fact, sleep deprivation has been found to have a greater effect on emotions and mood than on cognitive abilities (33). A meta-analysis exploring the effects of sleep deprivation found that participants experienced significant changes in self-reported emotions while sleep-deprived (33). Various levels of sleep deprivation are associated with a decrease in self-reported positive emotions and increase in self-reported negative emotions (39–41), as well as an alteration in the individual's ability to regulate emotions (40, 42). These emotional changes that are associated with sleep deprivation may be explained by a decrease in the threshold of emotional activation (39).
Even though research findings have shown adverse effects of sleep deprivation on critical functioning abilities (9, 32, 34, 37, 39–42), most of these effects are investigated in controlled laboratory studies providing very little ecological validity. Consequently, these results do not allow researchers to measure the impacts of sleep deprivation on participants' daily activities. Furthermore, the results highlighting the effect of sleep deprivation on risk-taking behaviors are derived from studies where the tasks are initially unknown to participants and from samples where the participants are not necessarily experienced in risk-taking activities such as poker. Considering these facts, it seems appropriate to explore how sleep deprivation affect gambling behaviors and daily functioning in OP players.
Tilt in Online Poker
Tilt can occur because of events that may or may not be poker-related (28). For example, a tilt episode may occur following a bad hand, a loss of a large bet when the odds of winning were favorable, or as a result of intimidation by other players. Inattention, fatigue, lack of concentration, stress, drug or alcohol use may contribute to the occurrence of tilt episodes (26, 28). Emotional regulation strategies appear to be effective in preventing tilt episodes and are often used by more experienced players (26, 29). These strategies can include becoming aware of and accepting the emotions associated with the tilt episode or even momentarily leaving the game to cool down (26, 30). Tilt is known for its effects on game strategy. For example, amongst others, tilt episodes may provoke a gambler to play the game in a more aggressive manner than they would have initially (28). Tilt can lead to impaired decision-making, the illusion of control, increased risk-taking, increase the likelihood for impulsive behavior, and make it difficult for the player to stop gambling (26–29). The loss of control over gambling behaviors through tilt is associated with negative financial consequences. Indeed, tilt is believed to result in player's being less responsible when it comes to bankroll management (28, 31).
Tilt can destabilize the player and require the gambler to employ emotional regulation strategies to prevent or limit its consequences (26). A multitude of factors can cause tilt including fatigue and a lack of concentration (28). This can impair the player's ability to make optimal decisions leading to poor game sequences (26, 28). However, tilt is not the only factor that may affect the gambler during an OP game. Numerous studies have linked sleep deprivation to impaired decision-making and a reduced ability to regulate emotions (9, 22, 32–34). Sleep deprivation can be defined as an extension of an individual's wakefulness period that adversely affects their physical and psychological abilities (35). Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to be awake for 24 h or more to experience the negative effects of sleep deprivation. In fact, Van Dongen and colleagues (36) observed a decrease in neurobehavioral abilities after 15.84 h of wakefulness (SD = 0.73), although this period varies from one individual to another.

Objectives and Hypotheses
The main objective of this study is to determine whether SDpr produces a favorable context for tilt and worsen gambling behaviors among regular OP players within an ecological study design. It is expected that higher tilt scores (total score, emotional and behavioral factor and cognitive factor) and greater net losses will be observed for sessions played in SDpr compared to sessions played while NSDpr. The secondary objective is to test whether an OP session played 2 h before bedtime results in poorer sleep quality. It is expected that a later bedtime, a longer sleep-onset latency, a shorter total sleep time, a lower sleep efficiency, and a decreased feeling of rest the next day will be observed when a session is played 2 h before bedtime compared to when no session is played 2 h before bedtime.

Clinical Implications
The results of this study have clinical implications for public health and health professionals. Poker players should be informed that their sleeping habits have repercussions on tilt symptoms and loss of control while gambling, especially if they use alcohol. Playing poker while sleep deprived could have lingering effects on various spheres of their lives. Working on changing harmful sleep habits should be one of the goals of therapy for poker players who gamble at night.

Maximum cumulative profit on all Casino Games (excluding any progressive jackpot wins) in a 24 hour period by an individual customer shall be capped at £1,000,000. As we made clear in the ‘Important Note’ at the beginning of the General Terms, you will only be entitled to receive up to the maximum winnings limit regardless of the amount of your stake and no matter how much you appear to have ‘won’.

v Offshore gambling
Assuming that the reference to services rendered by a licensed person in Cyprus to persons residing outside the territory of Cyprus as well as the references to services rendered by a licensed person outside Cyprus to persons residing in the territory of Cyprus, refer to offshore online activities carried out remotely using electronic means through telecommunications or otherwise, it follows that the concerned gambling activities are 'offshore online betting' and 'satellite casino services'. Insofar as offshore online betting services are concerned, in the absence of a relevant provision in the Betting Law (Law 37(I)/2019), a licensed person in Cyprus may only provide such online betting services to persons residing outside the territory of Cyprus subject to the regulatory framework applicable in the country of residence of the intended recipients of the aforesaid online betting services. By contrast, the provision of online betting services to persons residing in Cyprus from non-licensed (by the National Betting Authority of Cyprus) entities (whether located in or outside Cyprus) is expressly prohibited. As regards the possibility of a licensed person to provide services relating to satellite casinos to persons residing outside Cyprus, the applicable regulatory framework is clear in that the number of satellite casinos is limited to four, all of which must necessarily be located in Cyprus and can only operate in support to the licensed casino resort. On the other side, the provision of satellite casino services to persons residing in Cyprus from entities outside Cyprus is expressly prohibited by virtue of the Law on the Establishment, Operation, Activity, Supervision and Control of Casinos (Law 124(I)/2015). In particular, no person may conduct or provide facilities for casino games or gaming machines in Cyprus without a valid licence issued by the National Gaming and Casino Supervision Authority.
Games nicknames/aliase
You may not choose a Games nickname and/or alias that is defamatory, offensive, pornographic or intended to impersonate a real person or brand. Betfair can amend your nickname and/or alias if such nickname and/or alias breaches this clause.
10. A New Matilda Film Is Set To Be Released In 2022
The story of Matilda has been immortalised on Broadway and on the West End with an award winning musical. In December 2022, there is set to be a film version of Matilda The Musical directed by Matthew Warchus and starring Stephen Graham, Emma Thompson and Andrea Riseborough.
Participants
Players were recruited through advertisements on forums, websites, and Facebook pages dedicated to OP. An e-mail invitation to participate in the study was also sent to Université Laval employees' and students' as well as to a list of volunteers from our center. Participants were included if they: (a) played OP at least once a week while sleep deprived (≥16 h between awakening and the end of the gambling session), (b) played OP with money on average twice a week for at least 1 month, (c) primarily played on an OP platform that allows hands to be recorded, (d) were at least 18 years of age, (e) considered themself as primarily a poker or an OP player amongst other gambling activities, (f) primarily played on a computer, and (g) agreed to monitor their sleeping and gambling habits. Participants were excluded if they were working night or rotating shift work with regular night shifts and if they devoted more than half of their playing time to gambling activities other than OP.
Thirty-five players were interested in participating in the study. Among them, two did not follow up on attempts to contact them, seven did not meet the eligibility criteria and one was excluded because of working nightshift. Of the 25 gamblers who completed the socio-demographic questionnaire, two did not provide data that would allow the research objectives to be met. Descriptive analyses were conducted on the 23 players whose responses were complete. Our participants were primarily men (95.7%), between the ages on 20 and 52 (M = 31.78, SD = 9.78) from Canada (91.3%). Twelve gamblers lost money during the data collection period (M = −284.70 USD; SD = 223.59) [−761.23, −61.10] while seven gamblers gained money (M = 224.18 USD; SD = 324.11) [13.96; 768.30]. Of the 19 players who provided their hand histories, an average of 31.32 (SD = 22.43) [2; 102] OP sessions and 7,456 (SD = 8,352.41) [1.073; 31.991] hands were played during the data collection period. Socio-demographic information, information regarding problem gambling severity and the poker experience level of participants are presented in Tables 1–3.

21. There Is A Pee-Wee Herman Connection
While the FBI agents are waiting in the car outside of Matilda’s house, there is a song playing in the car. The song was also featured in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985). Paul Reubens stars in this scene as one of the FBI Agents and he is also Pee-Wee Herman.
33. Matilda Loses Her Powers In The Book
In this film version, Matilda manages to keep her powers in the end however in the book she loses them and is moved to a much older class where she is more intellectually challenged. Miss Honey puts it down to Matilda being happier now and focusing on her academic abilities.
26. Rosie O’Donnell Also Turned Down The Role Of Miss Honey
Rosie O’Donnell was originally considered to play the role of Miss Honey in Matilda however she turned it down also to film Harriet the Spy (Hughes 1996) with Michelle Trachtenberg. Coincidentally, Michelle Trachtenberg auditioned for the role of Matilda. Helen Hunt and Tori Amos were also considered for the role of Miss Honey.
