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.
