You may have seen people on TikTok or Instagram talk about a sleep hack called "sun gating." It's a simple concept:
Go outside soon after you wake up and let the morning sunlight hit your eyes, without looking directly at the sun.

It turns out that getting bright, natural light early in the day can help reset your internal clock (called your circadian rhythm) which plays an important role in how well you sleep and how you feel during the day.
AS AN EBOLA outbreak rages in central and East Africa, public health workers say that the response has been stymied by the Trump administration's cuts to foreign aid and global health organizations. "We are no longer able to get some supplies," Amadou Bocoum, Democratic Republic of Congo country director for the anti-poverty nonprofit CARE, tells WIRED. "Because of that, we are not able to react immediately."

Take Trump's $1.8 billion shakedown of the IRS. This will provide compensation payments to Trump allies who say that the Biden administration unfairly weaponized the Justice Department against them. Who these individuals actually are, however, is left unclear. Will Jan. 6 rioters receive payments? Then there's the insider-trading epidemic and Trump's pattern of buying stocks in companies that subsequently benefit from his own policy decisions.
