Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Preliminary results from a new study show that partners of people who have insomnia may try to be supportive by engaging in a range of behaviors that unintentionally contradict treatment recommendations.
Results show that 74 percent of partners encouraged an early bedtime or late wake time, which is in direct conflict with the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI). Forty-two percent also encouraged doing other things in bed, such as reading or watching TV, and 35 percent encouraged naps, caffeine or reduced daytime activities.
"It is possible that partners are unwittingly perpetuating insomnia symptoms in the patient with insomnia," said lead author Alix Mellor, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow and coordinator of the Researching Effective Sleep Treatments (REST) project in the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University in Victoria, Australia. "It is therefore important for more data to be collected to determine whether insomnia treatments may better benefit patients and their partners by proactively assessing and addressing bed partner behaviors in treatment programs."
[...] Results also show that bed partners made accommodations that affected their own functioning, including their sleep and life outside of work. This may explain why partners who attempted to be helpful experienced more anxiety, even though the insomnia patients perceived the relationship to be more satisfying.

You will never see such a Works program from Trump or the GOP because that's completely antithetical to their economic philosophy. Only Democrats could deliver such a program, and they are on the outs because they have some peculiar social hang ups and preferences which they refuse to compromise on. People vote on a list of priorities and these social issues are first in line for too many people to accept a Democrat even if economically they'd benefit from them being in office.
I don't want a government job installing solar panels if I have to work next to a Mexican and a faggot! Just give me a disability cheque.

If only unemployed men could get disability payments for being socially disabled, in other words not being gossipy backstabbing bitches like every woman. Too bad feminism dictates equality cannot exist and all men are criminals. It is not a coincidence that women are buying guns in record numbers. They know the prisons are not big enough to hold all men so women will need to kill the men one at a time.
