ok so... do you need to warm up before you begin to do what you could do the day before?

example
I'm doing great at like 3am (i only seem to have control over my pen at that time lol) then il sleep.. come 2pm the next day i cant even pass something i got 97% acc on a mere 11 hours before hand. This happens everyday, il play in the morning (not 3am i consider that late night) and il be sht, rubbish like my hand will shake.. after 2 hours il stop.. wont play till say 12pm then from 12pm-3 i for some reason play really well, its not even compareable to how i played earlier.. i dont want to have to play for 2-3 hours JUST to get back to where i was the day before.. I dont get it..

when i say my hand is shaking i guess its like say, you lift 20k at 3am comfortably then the next day cant even lift 12k without shaking.. you would think my hand would be used to my pen by now but it just isnt. (also if i dont play till 12pm im not suddenly good either, i need to play for at least 2-3 hours throughout the day to get to a decent point)

soak your hands in hot water before you play

That doesn't happen to me often. I usually just keep playing hards or insanes and eventually I get back to my normal self again.

Or you could

this is the worst advice. water makes your hands colder.

is it because your hands are cold? when I get up mine are, and I play bad, so I have to turn the heater up really high and get them warmed up before I play well.

Do you like sleep on your hands (it's possible) or something? And do your hands have that "dead sensation" during those times where you can't "play?"

What I do is play a few insane maps, then go do something else for about 30 mins (shower and eat usually) then I come back and I do much better (probably cuz I'm awake e.e)

doesnt matter what time of day it is.. if i havn't played consistently throughout the day (2-3 hours) then im useless.. overtime you build up muscle memory for certain notes and you dont even need to look at them to hit them right? this doesnt happen for me.. everyday its back to square one like its (feels like im gripping the pen differently to yesterday even though my grip has never changed) . no use getting frustrated its only a game. its unrealistic to stay up till 3 in the morning everyday anyway.. lucky for me im on a gap year.

thanks for your help guys, tbh wasn't expecting it was just expecting troll comments but thanks i appreciate it

my hands feel perfectly fine (not sleepy and such) in all my normal tasks throughout the day. its only with osu where if i havn't exercised them (i guess) in that manner that they then feel useless (not numb but wobbly, shaky.. not stable)

sorry 4 double post

oh and i do sleep on my hands but i never feel numb when i wake up.. but i do always sleep on them o.0

That must be the problem then. Also when you wake up try to at least be active for 30 mins or so (eg eat breakfast then walk around the house) instead of going to osu straight away

Well I don't do horribly when I first start playing, I think I only do my best 3 hours or more in though.

Increase your grip strength in both of your hands, this will help with muscle memory and you will fatigue less while playing. You don't need bear hands but a little muscle can go a long way.

Always I play 50 times so for about half and hour starting at normals with DT+HD+HR, then gradually moving up to hards+dt and insanes before i start to play seriously. Even the easiest of hards i can't jump right into without warming up. I know that i'm ready when i check #userlog and see that i've played 100 times.
