Thanks for this Misfit.  A good reminder.  In addition I would like folks to note the change that may have occurred  regarding their shift in perspective.  Because trading is really more about the inner workings of your psychology it is important to note.

I remember a good number of very "spirited" criticisms levelled against R.N. when the SP was tanking.  Those same individuals recently professed an enhanced love and respect for the same man.  It's not that these two are mutually exclusive but one should note the affect that money has.  Misfit spoke of psych. responses to your concerns about trading, but one needs to go beyond that for an equally important and more long term consideration.

The loss of sleep and excitement are natural but also represent a shift to imbalance which could result in poor decision making or perhaps some pretty fun delusions of grandeur.  I'm so pleased to be wealthier and I look forward to more.  Here I am excited and writing this at 4:43 am because I woke up early, but aside from making some bills easy to pay, I still have the same problems I had before.  Because most of our problems start from within, it is only from that place that we can make meaningful changes.  The money is really nice but don't be star struck by it.  Sorry if this sounds preachy.  Hoping everyone finds something meaningful to do with gains.  I'm looking to help with some financing for my parents new place.... after all, I'm here because they were there.
