Electsomnia stressing out many Americans

Many Americans stressed out by the presidential race may be suffering from "electsomnia."

Many Americans stressed out by the presidential race may be suffering from
“electsomnia.”

The term was coined by Dr. Michelle Drerup and a colleague at Cleveland Clinic.

She said they first started to see the issue during the last election cycle and now it seems to be continuing with this one too.

People are reporting issues falling asleep, ruminating over the candidates, concerns about the voting process and the potential results.

Limiting social media may be a good starting point to help treat it, said Drerup, especially before bedtime.

If you’re still having trouble, she recommends seeing a specialist.
