If it’s just one night, I meditate to try to clear my mind and keep it from racing and keeping me awake, and if that doesn’t help I take diphenhydramine. If it happens over many nights, I quit drinking alcohol and caffeine, and maybe take nyquil to get me through any discomfort from quitting those.

You’re right, and I see that opinion poll as a indicator of the direction that America has been going: a place where many people think they are in a democracy, while actually living in a country that is more authoritarian than it was in the past.
