WNU Editor: The study is here .... Survey finds stress and worry over the state of the world keeps some Americans up at night. 

All my family/friends/and contacts in both Russia and Ukraine have been telling me the same thing since the start of the war. No one is sleeping well. And they are not alone. I would say about half of my friends in Canada, Europe and Asia are having problems sleeping.
