What an Insomniac Knows
We’re warned that sleeplessness takes a serious toll. But obsessing over how to cure it may be even more damaging.

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.

But if Trump says it’s ok, it’s ok, right?! 🤣🫠
I'm told TikTok's host (Oracle) and CDN (Akamai) brought it back online today because Trump assured them they'd not be subject to penalties - something he can't entirely promise.
Whatever one's feelings on the ban's merit, they're defying federal law based on a not-yet-president's word. Huge gamble
