For the sake of this poll, let's assume that if the Mets lose, it will be a conventional loss, and not some gut-wrenching heartbreaker.

Who chose "if Mets lose" and why?

I figure on #4, I get all wound and find it hard to wind down after games like this no matter the outcome. Funny thing is I'm particularly sleepy now at 3:00, but I had a very high carb lunch today and sometimes that knocks me out. #lgm #ygb #crcema #atltnra

I don't sleep well anymore period so.

Hilary continues to lead in the polls. And if the Mets win.

I learned last year, during the NLDS series with the Dodgers, that when the Mets lost I would sleep better than when they won. After a win, especially after Game 5, I was so jittery with excitement that I couldn't fall asleep. But when they'd lose I'd remind myself that it's not important in the greater scheme of things and I'd let myself think about more mundane stuff.

No chance of sleep either way. In theory, I am perfectly happy with a Wild Card berth given the injuries etc from this season. And in a few days or weeks I may come around to that. But no way I feel that tonight. And if they win I'm going to be on Cloud 9.

Well if they lose I will have a problem getting to sleep, apparently.

Didn't sleep at all, but that's not really surprising. I'm better than I thought I would be given the loss. I guess part of me knows that even if we won last night, and somehow got past the Cubs, this rotation was eventually going to catch up to us. I'm always sad at the end of the Mets season. It's really the only sport I follow to this extent. I know some of you guys watch that sport with the pads and the funny shaped ball, but for me, it's a complete dead period until Syracuse Basketball kicks off on November 11. Seems a long, long way away.

Well, for me it's dead until April! It took me a little while to fall asleep, but once I did it was a normal night. I would have had far more trouble sleeping if I was jazzed about an upcoming series against the Cubs.

got home around 1, bed by 1:30. Carbon Monoxide detector in the basement beeped three times at around 4:30, which supposedly indicates 'error' and then later started flashing 5 times which sorta means 'end of life'. Just as I got back to bed after assuring myself it was just an error and there was no monoxide (other detector on main floor wasn't going off, and I tested it), the smoke alarm battery decided to start dying. Also I think I have a cold and acid in my throat.

Were you with The 7 Line, Ceetar?

Lol, at the beginning of the game they did a quick crowd shot out there of about a dozen people and I said to myself, "hey, that's Ceetar!" I got about 4 1/2 hours of unsettled sleep last night. Hopefully, I'll make up for some of it tonight and feel better tomorrow.

And the day after, I just feel numb. Later
