THE SUPREME COURT is allowing the Trump administration to go ahead with its plan to restrict military service by transgender people while court challenges continue.
The high court today reversed lower-court orders preventing the Pentagon from implementing its plans.
But the court for now declined to take up cases about the plan. The cases will continue to move through lower courts.
Military policy had barred service by transgender people until President Barack Obama’s administration began allowing transgender people already in the military to serve openly and set a date when transgender people would be allowed to enlist.
President Donald Trump’s administration has revisited those policies.
The Trump administration has sought to generally restrict service by transgender people to only those who don’t seek to undergo gender transitions.

Thats me fecked then… its well known shift work reduces lifespan!
Lack of sleep would drive you queer in the head ,never mind what it would do to the heart !
Couldn’t sleep last night and keep thinking today is Sunday so agree with you Tom.
You mustn’t sleep very much then.
Nor do your neighbours,Farty!
Thoughts and prayers for all those affected with lack of sleep. Must be a hard way to start the year with insomnia. I can’t imagine what they are going through, especially when it harms your heart.
Lol!
Why does the pic come with the
tag line – don’t be that guy ?
He’s asleep – won’t that prevent sleep deprivation?
It probably means “Don’t be the guy who sleeps on the couch for an hour”. Sleep on a bed for 8 hours unless kicked out buy your partner of course..
Great I am fecked so. My whole life is sleep deprivation. Shouldn’t have bothered with the pension plan it seems.
Have they accounted for confounding factors such as stress causing sleep deprivation and a subsequent rise in blood pressure?
I’d love to sleep more unfortunately for me my 8 month old thinks sleep is a waste of time
Hey Monica… Any idea how lucky you are to have that as a problem??? Count your blessings?.
^^ Oh dear!! Monika ,I’m sure a lot of parents can Relate to what you’re saying!
Enda Kenny and his merry band of muppets and what they are doing are my biggest cause of no sleep . I aint messing either.
Enda bashing in unrelated article.
That’s not been done before.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Get your tongue out
New study : lack of sleep makes you tired !!
Who knew -
thejournal.ie is partly to blame for my lack of sleep
Is that Dave Grohl in the photo?
I’ve suffered insomnia for years,my ticker is grand,can’t say the same for my mind!. :)
I feel your pain for far too long. A lifetime of shift work has fecked up my body clock.
There are some great non prescribed sleeping tabs you can get now in health food shops that work. I’ve tried a lot and most are rubbish but I’ve found a brand in blue packaging with a picture of the moon on it that works brilliant and keep you asleep throughout the night……unlike the controlled tabs the just make you drowsy. They’re called Noctura and are completely homeopathic so a child could buy them over the counter. They work a treat.
in another survey it was found that tiredness is not linked to the amount of sleep you get & that it is related to your genetic make up. I think these scientific tests are not valuable when taken in isolation.
I had under 3 hrs sleep last night and im so tired now that I can’t sleep. Looks like my body doesn’t like my heart much!
No he was boozing with me
to get lucky
Probably not the best article to read while I’m wide awake at 5am trying to get back to sleep…
I become a total B with a ITCH if I don’t get my sleep. Grumpy in the seven dwarves would have nothing on me.
I’d say you’re like that anyway
I LOVE SLEEPING I DOOOO, NITE NITE EVERYONE Zzzz xx
Off to bed
I have to get LOADS of sleep, and food at regular intervals!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzx
Tell that to an employer…
Yaaaaawn
Industrial Wind Turbines emit Infrasound.
As these industrial wind turbines are sited too close to people’s homes which are receptors, the Infrasound is trapped inside the home which causes sleep deprivation.
As Professor James states, there are various illnesses associated with sleep deprivation, with the young and the elderly being most vulnerable, that is why it would be safer to sleep with your curtains open and your windows open so that the Infrasound can escape.
Our Environmental Health Department DO NOT MEASURE INFRASOUND, WHY?
The wind industry deny that wind turbines cause any health effects.
Many peer reviewed studies from around the world suggest otherwise and this article from Professor James stresses the importance of sleep which is a basic human right.
Unfortunately there are many people in this country that are being denied their basic human right.
Who will pay the compensation when the claims are made?
The landowner for causing the noise pollution?
The energy company for putting up the wind turbines?
The planning department or county council for granting planning permission without taking into account the noise concerns of people living nearby?
The Energy Minister or Minister of the Environment for driving this policy / madness on in a wreck less manner?
Take your pick.
It’s called children :(
Obviously the Dr hasn’t heard of sleep apnea
have your say
