How to stay awake during the Ashes

November 25, 2010

We are all excited by the arrival of the Ashes, but the 10 hour time difference is a bit of a problem for the cricket mad sports fans that could not make it over to Australia to watch it in person. The action starts around midnight each day and it is expected to finish just in time for breakfast. For some people it’s easy to switch from sleeping days to nights but for the majority we will fall asleep!

So what do we do if we want the see the historic test series between England and Australia and watch Andrew Strauss’s side retain the Ashes?

To give you a fighting chance over the coming weeks here are some tips for keeping awake and not missing the matches. One of the best ways is to take power naps when play has stopped for tea and biscuits!

  • Take a power nap of 15 minutes once at 2am and then again after 4am
  • Before the nap have some coffee (not de-caff) or a drink like diet coke that has plenty of caffeine (the caffeine should kick in after your nap)
  • Don’t sleep for longer than 15 minutes, once you enter deep sleep you will be groggy
  • Don’t pig out, snack but not till you are stuffed
  • Don’t drink alcohol or sugary drinks
  • Keep the lights on
  • Don’t lie down on the sofa

If you follow these tips you should be able to enjoy the Ashes and if you keep it up and sleep during the day you will soon adjust.

Whatever you do, if you stay awake all night don’t go to work afterwards if you can. if you must go to the office or factory please do not drive or operate heavy machinery and more importantly don’t’ get caught sleeping at your desk, use the meeting room instead!

These tips are brought to you by Freebetsblog.com, we take no responsibility should you decide to follow them. Just enjoy the cricket and why not make it more fun by placing a bet on Ashes with our wide awake friends at Ladbrokes who are up all night updating the latest Ashes odds.

Odds point to a Chelsea win against Msk Zilna in tonight’s Champions League action

November 23, 2010

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti will be looking for a win tonight in their Champions League clash against Slovakian team Msk Zilna. The game kicks off at Stamford Bridge at 19.45 and can be watched live on Sky Sports 4.

A win or at the very least a draw for Chelsea will see them progress to the next stage of the competition as Group winners, it should be an easy task as they are playing the team that have failed to win any of their games and are currently at the bottom of Group F, and the odds for the game reflect Zilnas poor Champions League record.

However Chelsea have had a poor run of domestic games this season, having lost three out of their last four Premier League games and they will be going into the game without the injured John Terry and Frank Lampard. On the bright side for Carlo Ancelotti Michael Essien will be available after his domestic ban.

Chelsea v Msk Zilna match odds

The bookies Betfred are running a cash back betting offer on this game. If Chelsea’s left winger Florent Malouda scores the last goal of the game then they will refund all of the losing bets made on the first or last goal scorer markets.
