saner
Less off-kilter
Saner is the comparative form of sane—more mentally sound, more rational, more reasonable.
Someone recovering from a breakdown may feel saner each day.
A policy can be saner than its alternative: The new approach is far saner than what we tried before.
In casual use, saner often means simply more sensible or level-headed.
