I’m writing this newsletter before Election Day, obviously with no certainty about how things will turn out. I don’t know whether I’ll wake up today relieved, devastated or in limbo. There is some evidence that the sleep quality of parents in the United States has gotten worse over the course of the pandemic. In May, 44 percent of American mothers surveyed said their sleep was restless all or almost all of the time, and in September, 50 percent said the same. (They also surveyed Australians during that time period, for an international comparison; Australian parents experienced a decline in sleep quality as well, and an increase in anxiety.)
