Anyone else's sleep patterns changed since Obama?

[cilla4progress]

I have war dreams many nights now. Wake me up. WW III. Anyone else?

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. I go to bed much more unsettled. I blame DU - since I don't watch TV..source of my angst is here!

Not that I am blaming DU of course - I could always just close the laptop!

[gldstwmn]

2. Yes and my employment too. n/t

[Afromania]

3. and Canada built a "wall" to keep American refugees out

[GP6971]

4. I find that I'm very distracted

waiting for the next shoe to drop that will end this nightmare. I keep hoping, but we've been very disappointed over the years.

Until the repukes come around to reality, we have little hope.

5. I dreamed about my college boyfriend

[HipChick]

6. I'm always dreaming that I got the last flight out..

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Since OBAMA?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

8. Yep - have had to get stronger sleeping pills. Should send the bill to the White House.

[tallahasseedem]

9. Absolutely...

I have lost so much sleep just in the past week trying to keep up with everything that is going on.

10. I have sleep issues from time to time so when I can't sleep, my mind wanders.

I never know what will pop into my head when I have insomnia. Last night I suddenly began musing on what could happen next. If North Korea manages to make a nuclear strike on the west coast, do I live far enough away (on the Gulf Coast) to survive a blast?? Thoughts like that don't encourage restful sleep, but it is what we've come to with tRump. I wonder how much longer we can go on with this madness? I am sick of the stress and uncertainty, but like watching a train wreck, I can't seem to look away. When will we get some real help from the people in Congress who can make it stop? Is everyone derelict in their duty?? Woe is us! No wonder I can't sleep.

11. yes my sleep and health has been affected

[NBachers]

12. I have very disturbing dreams that feel like reflections of events from the future, filtering their

way back to me.

[sarcasmo]

13. Sleep by 1 A.M. if I'M lucky, drinking and cussing more.

[ecstatic]

14. Severe teeth grinding and clenching

starting around March of 2016. I didn't realize until recently that it was probably due to Trump-stress. I have to use my night guard every night now.

[BarbD]

15. How to maintain balance and sanity

This weekend I purposefully ignored the news and today, Monday, waited until 6 p.m only to see the breaking news about Trump leaking intel to the Russians. Geez!!!! Now, I am listening to light classical music and desperately trying to find some way to calm my mind. This is stress management to the max. I am trying to rewind memories in my mind of walking on the beach, listening to the rhythm of the waves.

16. Definitely a negative toll on everything, sleep, health, social, relationships, exercise..To keep up

W just the biggest crisis, ways he is dismantling our country, is very time consuming.

[moonscape]

17. When I wake up, I try to stay away from news as long as

possible, fearful of what the new day has already brought.

I'm on the West Coast, so he has had hours to get us into more trouble by the time I wake up.

[Solomon]

18. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[NBachers]

19. I just woke up after having a disturbing dream about a giant dumpster fire and it's after-effects.

[Blue_Roses]

20. Yes and I am also eating more junk

food than I have in a long time. I stopped eating sugar 3 years ago, but have been creeping back into it since all this started. I have got to get a grip!

[Bluepinky]

21. I keep very late hours watching MSNBC and catching up on DU

I also feel unsettled, always like something bad is going to happen.
