Is Donald Trump suffering from a serious case of sleep deprivation?
A New York Times columnist says Trump's behavior on the campaign trail may be caused by extreme lack of sleep.
Timothy Eagan wrote: “Trump gets by on barely half the amount of sleep recommended for a healthy life....three or four hours, and sometimes just 90 minutes.”
The Times says sleep deprivation makes people “cranky and temperamental,” “impulsive,” and “smaller things set them off.”
The newspaper suggests that may account for his outbursts on the campaign trail where the GOP front runner said he wanted to punch a protester and told a venue to keep the lights off as he was speaking.
Sleep deprivation expert Dr. Steven Feinsilver says lack of sleep may also explain some of Trump’s fits and disposition.
"Sleep deprivation has effects on both physical well being and mental well being and actually emotional well being," he told IE. "We are all designed to get at least seven-and-a-quarter hours of sleep. If you get less than that, it is associated with making a lot of errors."

Quit the image spamming.
When Cruzies quit the Trump spamming.
It seems the run up to super Tuesday has all the media that hate/fears Trump throwing everything at the wall to see if any thing sticks.
Or maybe they’re just hangry.
Shut up, Dick.
Old men have a right to tell it like it is and disregard the new fangled POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! So do OLD WOMEN,. We have had ENOUGH of people telling us what we are supposed to think, how we are supposed to act, what we are supposed to say, when we see our once great country being destroyed! We are ALL angry if we have an ounce of patriotism in our blood. Go TRUMP!
LOL!!!
I asked him the other day if his first name was Dick....gmta!!

“Shut up, Dick.”
So you are either calling me a dick, or you accidentally responded to me instead of the person who’s name is Dick.
Yes, now they’re telling us that his good qualities are really bad qualities...pathetic
a question based on faulty assumptions is not worth answering
I had an aunt like Trump. Got by on 4 hours per night until she was 80 or so. She died at 91. She was also scary smart. Drove people crazy by carrying on a detailed conversation at the same time she was working a crossword puzzle.
I read an article several years ago that stated that many very smart and creative people require little sleep. Thomas Edison and Salvador Dali required little more than occasional naps.
After 2024, he can sleep as long as he wants. We are trying to hire him, we want him to work full time.

You actually thought you were talking to a Senator? Silly you.
“Is Donald Trump’s Bizarre Behavior Caused By Sleep Deprivation”
No, it is caused by have an INSANE POLITICAL PARTY plotting against him, just because he’ll force them to govern as they campaign - and that scares the SHIITE out of them.
No, I thought you’d chosen your screen name after him.
“Old men need sleep”?????
I have often wondered how he does it. If it were me, a SWAT team would probably have to be called up.
“No, I thought you’d chosen your screen name after him.”
How do you know I didn’t choose it after the professional American Bowler?
