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...

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

Granted... In many cases, people who have contracted Covid have mild responses to it, but others are more seriously affected... What doesn't help is when you have other medical problems that the Covid greatly interacts with and between the two (or more) interactions can also cause death...

Yes, you can still get the Covid even with shots, but you usually suffer to a lesser degree in many cases...

Being a historian, I have come across newspaper accounts of people reacting the same way about the major Flu pandemic of 1918-19 with much the same reactions and distrust... My Maternal Grandfather was with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in England, but was medically discharged because of that Pandemic. I have his letter-writing kit and pay card from then.
