How Barack Obama cured my insomnia

For the past few years, I haven't been able to sleep through the night. Each night, I would wake up somewhere around 2:00 a.m., feeling wide awake. I would have to read or watch cable news for an hour or two before I could fall back to sleep.

I figured it was something that must come with middle age. So I learned to adjust to it, and it became just another part of my routine.

But this past week I discovered something: All of a sudden, I'm sleeping through the night! Ever since election night, I have slept straight through the night -- every night -- without my usual wee-hour awakening.

Coincidence?

No.

A weight has been lifted.
