Apparently, post Trump I started talking in my sleep. Something I used to do when I was deeply stressed, such as when I'd lost a loved one. Since Covid I've been walking in my sleep, too. Wandering about doing weird stuff while I'm asleep. Lots of stuff is missing in my house and we assume I've moved it.

I don't take any sleep meds, or prescriptions, so this isn't a side effect of anything but stress.

I want to be able to drop my shoulders again and honestly relax.
