His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>By the time public health \u003ca href=\"https://www.solanocounty.com/depts/ph/about.asp\">officer Bela Matyas\u003c/a> learned that the novel coronavirus was spreading in Solano County, a\u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa347/5813637\"> patient in her 40s\u003c/a> was already on a ventilator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in February, the patient was the \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa347/5813637\">first in the nation\u003c/a> known to be infected without traveling or being around someone who was sick. But she was too ill to answer questions about where she’d been and who she had talked to, worked with or touched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of public health investigators from local, state and federal agencies fanned out like detectives, questioning the family members who had visited her and the hospitals that had orchestrated her care — even staking out the store where she worked. Their mission: to piece together a list of people who could have been exposed to the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Bela Matyas, Solano County public health officer\"]'What we had to do was clear from the beginning,” Matyas said. “But actually being able to do it was very hard.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the list totaled more than 300 people spanning six counties in the state, Matyas estimated. Four of those people — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Uneasy-and-frustrated-California-health-15099994.php\">three health care workers\u003c/a> — tested positive, each prompting an investigation of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This process, called contact tracing, is a critical element in containing the spread of the virus. But the ability of California’s 61 county and city public health departments varies greatly as they struggle to keep pace with rising numbers of patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we had to do was clear from the beginning,” Matyas said. “But actually being able to do it was very hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local health departments, like the one in Madera County, have managed to trace the contacts of every person who tests positive for the coronavirus. Others, like the city of Long Beach and Placer County, are so overburdened that they are only trying to trace contacts that could put vulnerable people at risk, such as health care workers or people in nursing homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To handle the pandemic, the nation will need 30 contact tracers for every 100,000 Americans, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.naccho.org/uploads/downloadable-resources/Contact-Tracing-Position-Media-Release_4.16.20.pdf\">National Association of County and City Health Officials\u003c/a>. But no California city or county has anywhere near that many. Under that formula, for example, Long Beach would need 140 investigators, seven to nine times more than it has now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Placer County, north of Sacramento, with a population of \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/placercountycalifornia\">almost 400,000\u003c/a>, would need 120 tracers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It certainly illustrates the point that 18 — which is our expanded capacity, which is more than our baseline of six — is woefully inadequate,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.placer.ca.gov/directory.aspx?EID=64\">Aimee Sisson\u003c/a>, Placer County’s public health director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact tracing will become even more important as the state starts reopening parts of its economy. The concern is that more human interaction could cause flare-ups, especially since people can spread the virus \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6914e1.htm\">before feeling ill\u003c/a> and limited testing leaves people unaware they’re infectious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure that there is capacity in every county to do adequate contact tracing. That’s part of containing the disease,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.calhealthofficers.org/staff.html\">Kat DeBurgh\u003c/a>, executive director of the Health Officers Association of California. “Are we ready today? No. When will we be ready? I don’t know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the concern about inadequate contact tracing on Wednesday, announcing plans to train 10,000 people to help local health departments. “The good news is we believe we have the capacity to build an army of tracers,” Newsom said, although he did not say when they’d be ready to deploy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://profiles.ucsf.edu/jeffrey.n.martin\">Jeffrey Martin\u003c/a>, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the UCSF, said that fighting an epidemic is like fighting a wildfire: The state can’t afford to mess up containment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[It’s] important to track all of those people down to extinguish all the embers in that brush fire,” Martin said. “If we don’t do it right, and if the brush fires are not extinguished, you’d have to be a magical, wishful thinker, to think that there would not be a raging wildfire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Some Counties Keep Up, Others Can’t\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Madera County, in the San Joaquin Valley, typically has two to three people keeping tabs on tuberculosis and sexually transmitted infections among its \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/maderacountycalifornia\">roughly 157,000 residents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\"]To handle the pandemic, the nation will need 30 contact tracers for every 100,000 Americans, according to the National Association of County and City Health Officials. But no California city or county has anywhere near that many.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the coronavirus hit — and the initial cluster encompassed about 200 patients and potential contacts, said Madera County Public Health Director \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-bosse-28727173\">Sara Bosse\u003c/a>. To date, \u003ca href=\"https://www.maderacounty.com/government/public-health/corona-virus-covid-19/covid-revised\">36 people\u003c/a> in the county have tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, by teaming with the sheriff’s department and probation investigators, the county has managed to keep up contact tracing, isolation and quarantine for everyone potentially exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madera is unusual in that investigators, typically in plain clothes, visit patients and their contacts in person — sort of. They drop off packets of information as well as a letter excusing work absences to employers. Then they get back into their cars and answer questions face to face through the window or over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then they can explain to them what’s going on,” Bosse said. “We understand that people are experiencing a lot of anxiety and it’s difficult for people to hear this news that they might have been exposed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the spread of the virus \u003ca href=\"https://www.maderacounty.com/government/public-health/corona-virus-covid-19/covid-revised\">seems to be slowing\u003c/a>. “We’re really hopeful that it’s at least in part due to the active contact tracing that we’ve implemented,” Bosse said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Riverside County, cases are coming in faster than the county’s 30-plus person team can investigate them, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.rivco-diseasecontrol.org/Contact-Us\">Barbara Cole\u003c/a>, branch chief of disease control for the county’s public health department. The county has \u003ca href=\"https://www.rivcoph.org/coronavirus\">3,218 confirmed cases \u003c/a>as of Thursday. It can take multiple phone calls to build enough trust to reconstruct someone’s string of contacts, Cole said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about trying to establish a rapport, stressing how we’re going to protect their confidentiality,” she said. “The majority of people, they’re concerned about their friends and their family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Northern California's Solano County, Matyas quickly realized that tracing and quarantining all contacts would be impossible for every case. To date, \u003ca href=\"https://doitgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/6c83d8b0a564467a829bfa875e7437d8\">191 people have tested positive\u003c/a> in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the county focuses on tracking the risk to vulnerable populations, including people who are older, have underlying medical conditions or live without shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano County’s communicable disease team, which has shrunk to its original staff of six, first interviews anyone who tests positive about where they work and who they came in contact with. That in some cases is a long list: people who visit their homes, coworkers who sit close or share food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a member of the team calls all of the contacts. The idea is to identify and isolate people who are feeling ill or whose jobs put them at risk of infecting others in nursing homes, hospitals or homeless shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We no longer pretend that we can do any kind of active quarantine,” Matyas said. “There’s no bandwidth to check on them to see if they’re doing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long Beach and Sacramento and Placer counties also are only tracing the virus’ spread through vulnerable populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Instead of asking every place you went to, every person you came into contact with, we say, ‘Have you been in contact with vulnerable populations?’ ” said Sisson in Placer County. “We just have too many cases for that full interview.” In the county, which is home to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article240888821.html\">first person to die of the novel coronavirus in California\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://placer.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/2e0154ae8a764c2fb8cccc5b58d5ce8e\">133 people\u003c/a> have tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]In Long Beach, every case initially was tracked. But then people kept getting sick, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-15/72-of-long-beach-coronavirus-deaths-are-at-nursing-homes-the-city-is-imposing-new-rules\">most of the deaths\u003c/a> in long-term care facilities. So, as people sheltered in place, contact tracing didn’t have to be as extensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we’re to the point where we have more than 400 cases, and we’re really focusing on our health care worker cases, and our cases in our long-term care facilities,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-holman-4686121a\">Emily Holman\u003c/a>, communicable disease controller for the city’s health department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracing contacts of people in long-term care facilities is different than in the community at large. Instead of focusing on reconstructing a web of contacts, the aim is to rapidly identify and separate infected and potentially exposed people from healthy people. Speed is key, so if someone’s symptomatic, they’re treated as a case, even with no test results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every minute in those facilities can be crucial and could prevent an exposure,” Holman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Staffing up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Former CDC Director Tom Frieden called for an army of more than 300,000 contact tracers \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/13/coronavirus-health-agencies-need-army-of-contact-tracers/\">in an interview with STAT\u003c/a>. And current CDC head Robert Redfield announced plans to hire 650 more public health personnel, including to help with contact tracing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/21/coronavirus-secondwave-cdcdirector/\">the Washington Post reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local health departments have been bolstering their workforces on their own. San Francisco plans to recruit and train \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/16/835396565/san-francisco-ramps-up-back-to-basics-contact-tracing-to-stop-covid-19\">as many as 150 people\u003c/a> to conduct contact tracing, including \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/san-francisco-launches-innovative-contact-tracing-program-strengthen-coronavirus-response\">librarians, city attorney staff and medical students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County also has ramped up from just seven staff investigating cases of communicable disease to 60 people assigned to the coronavirus — including 18 who follow up with contacts. As the epidemic progresses, “we anticipate deploying as many as 300 staff for contact tracing,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/njmoss\">Nicholas Moss\u003c/a>, acting director of Alameda County’s Public Health Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County is working to expand its six-person team to 30 by recruiting from other departments and training medical students to work with people who are homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hoping that based on the modeling that’s occurring, that we will be ready — and actually, we’re hoping that there won’t be another wave,” said Public Health Officer \u003ca href=\"https://www.comstocksmag.com/article/follow-her-lead-olivia-kasirye\">Olivia Kasirye\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is there an app for that?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some counties are looking to technological help. San Francisco, for instance, is training its contact tracers to use a platform that \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/Announcing_Director_Colfax_1.30.19.pdf\">Grant Colfax\u003c/a>, director of public health, called “an integral part of our efforts going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The platform, \u003ca href=\"https://dimagi.com/blog/sf-ucsf-contact-tracing-announcement/\">developed by a software company called Dimagi\u003c/a>, is not an app that people can download to their phones. Instead, it’s a web portal that public health workers can use to \u003ca href=\"https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/U.S.+COVID-19+Local+Response+System?_ga=2.26599933.1940502423.1587403750-1007829162.1586986063\">keep tabs on\u003c/a> people with infections, list their contacts and keep in touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple and Google also have proposed tracking people’s proximities \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/10/21216484/google-apple-coronavirus-contract-tracing-bluetooth-location-tracking-data-app\">using Bluetooth\u003c/a>. Newsom has\u003ca href=\"https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/gavin-newsom-california-briefing-transcript-april-14-unveils-plan-to-reopen-state\"> said\u003c/a> the state is vetting various technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Alameda County’s Moss is cautious about protecting the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2020/04/privacy-california-covid-app-coronavirus-contact-tracing-pandemic-quarantine/\">privacy of residents. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to make sure that any technological tool we employ where people’s health information is going to be input, that there are adequate safeguards for privacy,” Moss said. Plus, the app has to be easy to use, and it has to produce the data needed to keep tabs on the virus’ spread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mariposacounty.org/directory.aspx?EID=308\">Eric Sergienko\u003c/a>, Mariposa County’s health officer, worries that if each local health department ends up using different software, it might be hard to trace contacts that cross county lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where Sergienko hopes the state steps in and standardizes the platform California’s counties use. “What can the state do for us? Just by finding the best one,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Health and Human Services Secretary \u003ca href=\"https://www.chhs.ca.gov/home/secretary/\">Mark Ghaly\u003c/a> said that California will need 10,000 more contact tracers as it modifies its stay-at-home order. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people could test positive per day. And each of them could have 10 contacts, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California might not have needed to push quite so hard to ramp up during the crisis if it had funded enough public health workers to begin with. “We’ve been seeking increased funding for years,” said Kat DeBurgh, executive director of the Health Officers Association of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More trained health workers could be important in fending off the next pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By having these trained contact tracing public health workers, we can actually prevent infections, prevent the severe disease from happening in the first place,” said \u003ca href=\"https://publichealth.berkeley.edu/people/lee-riley/\">Lee Riley\u003c/a>, a professor of epidemiology and infectious diseases at the UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But right now, everything that we’ve been doing is just reactive to what’s already happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He was there with me and was helping me through it,\" Berrios said. \"And I can't imagine doing it without him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when Berrios started hearing rumors that hospitals were restricting visitor access to the labor ward, she panicked. She even added an advance directive to her birth plan, stating that if something were to go wrong during the delivery, the hospital had to save the child first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My husband was like, 'That's really scary.' But I said, 'It has to be done,' \" Berrios said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berrios also started to think about alternatives. She asked Kaiser Permanente about the possibility of switching to a home birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And they told me that if my gynecologist would deem it medically necessary and prescribe a midwife, that they would cover the home birth,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only about 1% of parents opt for home births in the United States. Most insurance policies won’t cover them, and they’re only advisable for low-risk pregnancies.

So Berrios and her husband may end up having to foot the $7,000 bill themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaiser Permanente wouldn’t grant KQED an interview or comment directly on Berrios’ case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the company did issue a written statement rearticulating its no home birth policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our providers and hospitals offer many patient-centered options for delivery of their babies, and we are confident that we can keep new mothers and babies safe at delivery,\" the statement said. \"We do not provide authorization for home births or other prenatal care outside of Kaiser Permanente.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berrios is currently fighting the denial of service.

But she said office hours for non-essential services are reduced because of COVID-19. So she’ll have to wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To complicate matters, it's been hard to track down baby formula.

Experts say that disrupted or unusual sleep patterns is to be expected right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in a unique time,” said Aric Prather, an associate professor of psychiatry at UCSF and the director of the behavioral sleep research program. “People are experiencing a level of stress and uncertainty that is fairly unprecedented … and that type of anxiety and angst doesn’t end when we close our eyes.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where are these dreams coming from?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It may feel like you’re dreaming more, but Prather said it’s more likely that you’re able to \u003cem>remember\u003c/em> the dreams with more clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people experience dreaming-sleep in the second half of the night, when your sleep is less deep. “And so there’s a tendency to have more awakenings or intermittent light sleep,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you wake up during this time — especially if you’re experiencing a “high-intense, negative, affective dream” — you may be more likely to remember it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may also be that our bodies are also responding to the coronavirus pandemic in unseen ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that when people get acutely stressed, you can narrow your focus and remember things that are particularly relevant,” Prather said. “It could be that, during this time period, our brains are kind of on high alert and tagging [relevant] things more frequently. And this is resulting in remembering our dreams more vividly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, there’s just your mind trying to process everything that’s happening in this unprecedented time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sleep serves a lot of different functions,” Prather said. “And one of [them] is trying to make sense of what happened during our day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if I can’t get to sleep at all?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While some may be experiencing evenings full of evocative stories or horrifying nightmares, others say they’ve been experiencing prolonged periods of insomnia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Insomnia is already really prevalent in our population, but is only growing as a consequence of the amount of stress that people are experiencing,” Prather explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chriscoxrox/status/1248326855318372357?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prather said there are ways to take control of that stress and insomnia during these troubling times.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How to get a better night’s sleep\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Unplug and unwind\u003c/strong>: Set aside a time each night for when you’re going to stop checking the news, stop checking social media and begin getting into your bedtime routine.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Practice relaxing activities\u003c/strong>: Stretching, taking a warm shower, watching TV that’s not \u003cem>too\u003c/em> engaging. “That will help your body and brain begin to kind of know that we’re moving into the night and starting to relax,” Prather said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sleep when you’re sleepy\u003c/strong>: This may seem obvious, but don’t go to bed until you’re actually tired. Don’t force yourself to try to fall asleep if you don’t \u003cem>feel\u003c/em> tired.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Don’t toss and turn\u003c/strong>: If you’ve been laying in bed for 30 minutes or more and you still can’t fall asleep, don’t force it. Prather recommends you get up and practice a quiet activity until you’re sleepy again.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Maintain a good relationship with your bed\u003c/strong>: “Oftentimes people with insomnia spend a lot of time tossing and turning in bed, and your body gets confused about what it’s supposed to be doing there,” Prather said. You want to make sure your brain associates your bed with sleep, not restlessness. So if you can’t sleep, get out of bed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Find your routine\u003c/strong>: COVID-19 has upended our lives in numerous ways, including messing with our sleep cycle. Prather recommends that you “structure your day in a way that protects your night” by following general best practices: “being active, not napping, reducing caffeine use, reducing alcohol use in the evening.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003cbr>\nAnd if you’re still plagued by constant, stressful dreams? Here are a few things you can do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Journal throughout the day\u003c/strong>: While it may be helpful to write down what you’re dreaming, it can also be cathartic to write down your worries and anxieties \u003cem>throughout\u003c/em> the day. That way you can get them out of your system before you go to bed and they have a place to live.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Schedule time to worry\u003c/strong>: “One of the things that most commonly happens to people with insomnia is that, for whatever reason, it seems like the middle of the night is the best time to try to solve all the world’s problems,” Prather said. Instead, he recommends setting aside some intentional time during the day to worry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Meditate\u003c/strong>: Prather said meditation can be a great tool for increasing your parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for falling asleep and staying asleep and may help combat negative dreams.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Last, whether you’re dreaming about Dolly Parton or the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Prather said we shouldn’t place unnecessary weight or importance on the content of our dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People that have recurrent nightmares due to traumas and things like that, that’s certainly something that should be taken seriously. But, you know, the content of our dreams are fascinating and mystical and often random,” Prather said. “I think it’s better to just kind of reflect and maybe smile about the strange things that you dream, versus getting worked up and investing a lot of time and effort to try to uncover what is being held there under the subconscious level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Don’t force yourself to try to fall asleep if you don’t \u003cem>feel\u003c/em> tired.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Don’t toss and turn\u003c/strong>: If you’ve been laying in bed for 30 minutes or more and you still can’t fall asleep, don’t force it. Prather recommends you get up and practice a quiet activity until you’re sleepy again.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Maintain a good relationship with your bed\u003c/strong>: “Oftentimes people with insomnia spend a lot of time tossing and turning in bed, and your body gets confused about what it’s supposed to be doing there,” Prather said. You want to make sure your brain associates your bed with sleep, not restlessness. So if you can’t sleep, get out of bed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Find your routine\u003c/strong>: COVID-19 has upended our lives in numerous ways, including messing with our sleep cycle. Prather recommends that you “structure your day in a way that protects your night” by following general best practices: “being active, not napping, reducing caffeine use, reducing alcohol use in the evening.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n What do you wonder about the Bay Area, its culture or people that you want KQED to investigate?\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Ask Bay Curious.\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nAnd if you’re still plagued by constant, stressful dreams? Here are a few things you can do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Journal throughout the day\u003c/strong>: While it may be helpful to write down what you’re dreaming, it can also be cathartic to write down your worries and anxieties \u003cem>throughout\u003c/em> the day. That way you can get them out of your system before you go to bed and they have a place to live.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Schedule time to worry\u003c/strong>: “One of the things that most commonly happens to people with insomnia is that, for whatever reason, it seems like the middle of the night is the best time to try to solve all the world’s problems,” Prather said. Instead, he recommends setting aside some intentional time during the day to worry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Meditate\u003c/strong>: Prather said meditation can be a great tool for increasing your parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for falling asleep and staying asleep and may help combat negative dreams.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Last, whether you’re dreaming about Dolly Parton or the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Prather said we shouldn’t place unnecessary weight or importance on the content of our dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People that have recurrent nightmares due to traumas and things like that, that’s certainly something that should be taken seriously. But, you know, the content of our dreams are fascinating and mystical and often random,” Prather said. “I think it’s better to just kind of reflect and maybe smile about the strange things that you dream, versus getting worked up and investing a lot of time and effort to try to uncover what is being held there under the subconscious level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
