How many of you are finally sleeping better?

[kpete]

For more than 4 years, I considered 5 hours of sleep to be the best I could do considering the stress "the former guy" created on this planet.

Now, I am sleeping better and achieving 6,7 sometimes even 8 hours of sleep! (not every night)

I feel better, am less stressed and definitely more energetic.

"Former guy" has a sleep disorder and caused anxiety to permeate and manifest disorders in many of us.

I am trying to work on my anxiety, anger and depression.

It is easier now.

How about all of you?

1. Raises hand.

Although life has a way of getting you down the dread of what will he do next went away when I watched Trump board Air Force One for the last time with a small crowd watching, Ivanka crying.

Trump tried to make it look important. He just looked like what he was. A very sore ,pathetic loser.

2. Unfortunately, I'm already worrying about the mid-terms

The last 4 years have exposed just how many lunatics we have in this country, and they are driving, breeding and voting.

I do my best to live in the moment but unless we can remove a WHOLE bunch of GQP miscreants from the legislature, my fear is the changes they will make to the nation will be nearly irreparable.

8. Me too and I am addicted to the news. My sleep is crap

13. This. Relief and joy at Biden's victory

and tremendous achievements in such a short period of time, but.. the increasing madness and growing drift toward fascism remain troubling, a sleep breaker if you let it.

The future riding on the mid term election is anxiety central.

Keeping the faith is what I strive for in precarious times. And taking pleasure in spring's beauty. Peace.

3. That's great news, kp! I'm also sleeping better and longer these days.

However, I feel like I have ongoing post-traumatic stress from the previous four years.

I am also struggling with anger, anxiety and low grade depression.

The pandemic combined with four years of a corrupt, criminal and treasonous administration, plus working to get Democrats elected here in Georgia was really overwhelming and exhausting.

I feel really, really angry at Manchin and Sinema for holding Biden’s legislation hostage.

I went out (unvaccinated) door to door in the middle of a pandemic to get Senators Ossoff and Warnock elected. I risked my health and my life. On the night of the January runoff, I was out on the doors until 6:30pm and the polls closed at 7pm. I want Biden’s legislation passed now.

I felt a renewed sense of hope and an infusion of positive energy when I heard President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden, along with many Georgia Democratic leaders and elected officials speak recently in Duluth, Georgia.

I am working on exercising more, and taking care of myself. I’m fully vaccinated and looking forward to visiting vaccinated friends and family this summer. My 12 year old child just got their first Pfizer shot on Thursday which made me so very happy!

16. Thanks so much!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

[MuseRider]

5. You are awesome!

Just wanted to tell you that. Not a surprise after all these years seeing you around here but in case I never said so before, you are totally awesome.

[CottonBear]

15. Thank you!

I hope you're doing well and enjoying this beautiful Saturday!

[MuseRider]

22. I am

thank you.

I just found a beautiful little ring neck snake sleeping in the hay bale I was getting out. Things like that make me happy.

6. LOL... this is funny

I'm doing 3 things at once right now, and I caught your post out of the corner of my eye.

And what I saw was...

"How many of you are sleeping together?"

[SheltieLover]

7. Absolutely!

Just as our beloved Pres bama predicted, we are not having to wonder/ worry about what Joe/Kamala are doing.

No more wondering if our "leader" will fire off nukes while we try to rest, thankfully!

Now, if DOJ will please round up, incarcerate & convict traitors, I will really sleep well!

[Generic Brad]

9. I'm definitely sleeping better than Trump, Gaetz, Giuliani, etc

It's time for those (alleged) criminals to have insomnia for a change.

[Chainfire]

10. I sleep better knowing

that the 40% of Trump supporters are still trying to undo the election. They stay up night worrying about our "Socialist, dementia ridden" President. They are still dreaming about dead people voting and machines changing ballots. I sleep better knowing that Biden is in the White House and Trump is in the club house. We tried the right-wing Fascist version of America for four years and decided, by a landslide, that we didn't like it, and that is the cool side of the pillow for me. The only thing that would make me sleep better if Trump died during sex with DeSantis.

12. You nearly owed me a keyboard with that last sentence. Now I have that revolting image in my

head. They could go together.

[CottonBear]

17. LMAO at the thought!

Governor KKKemp here in Georgia is awful, but DeSatan is so much more evil and corrupt. What's even worse is that the former guy is living in Florida too.

[niyad]

11. former guy IS a sleep disorder!

[MineralMan]

14. No. Too many other stressors right now.

I'm still dealing with the death and estate of my parents, and now my wife and I are house-hunting, on top of that. In fact, we're heading out today to look at two more potential houses. We've been talking about our offer strategy in the high-competitive market we have here. I think I have an answer that should help us land the house we like best. I hope so.

The worst thing right now is that you can't really think about a place for too long. New listings are being sold with multiple offers the first weekend they are on the market, and that isn't going to stop. So, we're going to have to jump on a place in our price range if we like it. We're not super picky, though, so that will make it easier. The trick is to guess what to offer to help ensure getting the offer accepted. That's the strategy we've been talking about.

[CottonBear]

18. Good luck. It sounds like you have a good strategy. nt

20. My son freaked out over his mortgage a year ago and sold their house

Back then, people were worried if they could ever sell, now it's the opposite.
They rented for a year and started a search for a new house and after 2 months of the housing market roller coaster, they decided to take another break.
Then, somehow they found their perfect house with no strings attached.
Hope you find yours without too much more stress.

19. I have always prioritized getting enough sleep.

I haven't lost any over Trump, or anything at all to do with politics.

Perhaps not watching news all day is the secret. Don't have a TV, although I have a link to be able to stream MSNBC and CNN. I generally watch Rachel Maddow, but not every day.

21. I have been sleeping better

since the election, but much better since I moved into my new house on January 6th. Yes, the insurrection was happening the day of my move! No internet or cable until the next morning when Spectrum came to connect me.

As I've watched the housing market go nuts in the last few months, I'm really glad I made the decision to buy/ build in April 2020 before everything started heating up. One less stressor.
