    There is a solution: turn the TV off and read a book.

    Why worry?? What’s going to happen will happen and one person can’t effect the outcome, in most cases!! Turn on a DVD/BD player and watch a good movie, instead!!

    I gave that up years ago. Watching Carol Burnett re-runs is the better deal.

    Brutus, you just have to remember that for the mass media, “if it bleeds, it leads”. Bad news gets eyeballs to the screen and ensures ratings. ;D

    Turn that crap off Brutus. There’s no meaningful content to it.

    I’ve watched a lot of MSNBC since Jan 6. I didn’t sleep much then, but on the whole I’ll take it over the local news. I sleep better now, but it doesn’t hurt to get a little lubricated when you can’t sleep.

    When watching news becomes a nuisance, turn off the TV, read a book for a little while.

    I bet there have been a ton of sleep deprived people this past year. I know I was. Especially from November through January. But the vaccine rollout is gaining momentum and things are looking up. With the dramatic decrease of cases and deaths among the 65+ age group (my group) we have the strongest evidence yet that the vaccines work. It’s been over two weeks since my second shot and I’m sleeping better.

    We still have a ways to go but we’re getting there.

    Get the shot. It helps a lot.

    There are all sorts of video streaming things out there. Netflix, Disney, HULU, any one of them would be a great alternative to network news. Cat videos on YouTube if you are really desperate. (Tell Brutus to watch the Mentos and diet coke guys.)

    Put your TV on the curb for the garbageman. Get a library card instead.

    If you wait until morning, they will repeat the news you missed plus you’ll get the breaking news and you’ll have gotten a good night’s sleep…

    While in college they would have reruns of Twilight Zone, Night Gallery and Outer Limits on at 10;30 or 11:00. I loved to watch them but would then have to watch Johnny Carson before I could go to sleep. I have always wondered how people like Rod Serling could sleep at night.

    Join the club my friend. I have given up on the graphic TV news and now read the news from multiple news sources on line…….

    You know, I usually skip the late news except for the weather forecast. At night, I’m watching an old TV series like West Wing or Deep Space Nine, on DVD, so I let the series go into the news segment and stop it in time to see the weather portion. Understand, I watch a lot of network news at 6 and 7pm as well as what utube news I can glean during the afternoon.

    Almost always watch a rerun sitcom before bed. Bed time is between 12;30 and 1 am. all so I will still be awake when the ball drops on New Years Eve.

    So stop watching the news. Here’s the trick to forecasting the news shows. Think of any scenario and then think of it in the worst possible light, with nothing redeemable and every event supposedly caused by absolute evil intent. There – you’ve just heard how it’ll be presented…. if presented at all. Now, no need to watch.

    That’s why I don’t watch TV or read the newspapers…or internet. Ignorance really is bliss.

    I’m having problems adjusting to Daylight Saving Time. I get up fine, but going to sleep is taking a lot longer.
