I can't sleep well either. I'm worried about what could happen next. I just wish things don't escalate, but with what's been happening lately, I doubt things are coming to an end soon.

I definitely can't sleep well since the Ukrainian invasion. I keep having nightmares about being in the middle of the conflict and getting shot or something. It's really messing with my peace of mind.

I can't sleep well either. I keep having nightmares about the Ukrainian invasion. It's really affecting my quality of life especially because I have family living there...

The same thing happened to me when the trumpets sounded to invade Afghanistan because I felt that at any moment I would be called to action, I know we trained for this but it is always difficult to face this type of situation.

Totally for me, the problem in Ukraine is the beginning of 100 years of war again, I don't think we will call it a world war but I am sure it will be a war for a long time.

Wars always keep me awake at night, I am a Vietnam veteran and I feel that the worst has not happened but is about to happen. Let's hope it ends soon.

My sleep is fine, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried. The threat of escalation is still high and I don't think I have another war in me.

Achilles question. I developed Achilles tendinitis last fall and it’s taking forever to fully heal. It’s definitely better but it’s been 10 months. The dr just said to be patient and don’t do anything that aggravates it. I rotate between peloton biking, weights, and yoga and it doesn’t get as stiff as it used to but I feel it start to strain if I do more than a mile of running. Does Achilles tendinitis ever fully recover or am I stuck with this?
