Psychologically speaking, personally, it is hard to say... I haven't had any trouble with any sleeping problems connected with the Pandemic. Occasionally, I have bad dreams, but no more than pre-Pandemic times and usually connected with aspects of my pre-Pandemic life. The only problem that I can think of is from the stress of having members of my family that believe that the whole pandemic situation is false and that there is nothing to be concerned about, and that masking and vaccinations are a government plot primarily brought about by anti-Trump factions.
Any stress would be from concern about my Grand-kids in these families whose parents don't seem to care... But there is nothing that I can do about it and if I protest too much, I fear being cut off from seeing these Grand- kids, altogether...
I hear you, I also know some people who believe that there is nothing to worry about this pandemic. How can you not believe when some friends and family got the virus?

The first few months were really hard, but you get used to it. The news, lockdowns, and stuff. It will affect you mentally and physically but you learn how to cope. No problems with sleeping

Feeling okay, as things seem to be getting back to something resembling normal. Also moved from the US to Europe so there is a lot of new things to explore that keep the feeling of doom currently in the world, at bay.
I can say I have grown a lot during this past year and a half though. It has caused me to re-evaluate the direction that my life was going in, and forced me to make new choices. That aspect has been hugely beneficial, so far.

I moved between different continents during this time as well, so I understand the stress involved. I guess I'd agree about personal growth too, but it has been a tough time in so many ways. It'll take quite a bit of time to really recover emotionally.

the virus is overrated, tbh, at most you get that layer of crap on your tongue that spoils the taste of everything you eat. you can fix it using a toothbrush in a day.
now the side effects is where the fun begins. if you get lungs infection you have to take series of IV antibiotics injections. sad times.
but to answer your original question, I actually sleep better than before, which sucks because I loved to stay up late and now I cant go past 1am

It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so loving what - Stephen Fry.

Yeah, I'm sure the people who are dead from it, and their families totally think its over-rated.
You thoughtless cretin.
Don't trivialise this virus. It KILLS and if it doesn't kill it can change you permanently. There are people who find the taste of food foul, even a year later.
Please THINK before you type thoughtless and unhelpful stuff.
