Donald Trump has resumed his late-night posting habits on Truth Social, prompting discussions about his sleep patterns and their potential impact on his cognitive health. The 79-year-old former president recorded a staggering 861 posts in May, the highest monthly total since he joined the platform. His recent posting spree began shortly after midnight and included attacks on President Joe Biden and allegations of election interference in California, though he provided no evidence for his claims. Reports indicate that Trump was active on Truth Social for 25 nights in April, suggesting he may have only achieved five full nights of sleep during that month. Experts, including psychologist Dr. Ritz Birah, warn that chronic sleep deprivation can impair cognitive functions, particularly in older adults, affecting attention, memory, and decision-making. They emphasize the importance of adequate sleep for emotional regulation and cognitive health. Despite these concerns, Trump and his allies continue to frame his limited sleep as a testament to his stamina and energy levels.
