President Donald Trump’s late‑night Truth Social posting sparks health concerns

U.S. President Donald Trump posted extensively on his Truth Social platform during overnight hours in May 2026, logging 861 posts—the highest monthly total to date and an average of about 27 posts per night. The activity spanned from roughly 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on 25 nights in April, leaving him with only a handful of full nights of uninterrupted sleep.

Health experts warned that such sleep restriction can impair attention, memory, impulse control and decision‑making, especially for a 79‑year‑old. Psychologist Dr. Ritz Birah noted that chronic sleep debt is linked to progressive cognitive decline. Biographer Michael Wolff described the posting sprees as a sign that the president is “spiraling” under stress and anxiety, contrasting the nighttime activity with his daytime golf outings.

The pattern has drawn scrutiny of Trump’s cognitive health and raised questions about how his sleep habits may affect his presidential duties.
