The U.S. presidential election is a super-confrontation in which even experts cannot predict the outcome.

Almost everything from gender to policy, from the two candidates, has been extremely extreme and the election campaign has been fierce.

[Robert Tompkins / New Hampshire Voter: Whatever the outcome of the presidential election, it looks like there will be a huge change in the United States and the world. It's a scary presidential election.

According to a survey by the American Psychological Association, 69% of the respondents said they were under considerable stress due to the presidential election, up from the previous two presidential elections.

Some say that the number of insomnia patients increases during the election season.

[Michelle Drerup / Insomnia expert] It's called 'election insomnia'. It's insomnia that occurs during the election season.

Many people don't watch the news on purpose to reduce anxiety.

[Jillian Marshall / Supporter of Harris] I have reduced the number of Twitter accounts I follow. Things about politics. I'm also spending less time watching news.

[Carly Conkler / Supporters of Trump: Spend time with loved ones, do outdoor activities, and cut back on smartphones. That's the biggest one. [The most important thing is not to sit in front of the TV and just watch the news]

I also try to restore peace of mind through yoga or meditation.

Elections are important, of course, but experts advise that excessive immersion is not healthy.

[Michelle Drerup / Insomnia expert] You've had several presidential elections. It's only four years, and it's important to focus on what you can control.

I'm Kim Do Won of YTN.
