Night shift workers who have trouble sleeping may have a condition known as shift work sleep disorder. âWorking non-traditional shifts interferes with the bodyâs circadian rhythms,â says sleep expert Tina Waters, MD. âMost of us are awake during the day because our bodyâs internal clock is keeping us awake.
Election to Congress in 1854 and the Mexican War brought the issue of the expansion of slave territory to the nation's attention. Lincoln formed a clearer position on slavery. He was opposed to black equality and had no intention of disturbing slavery in slave states.
For days, Lincoln had haunted the state library, read congressional documents, and organized his arguments against slavery. The next night, in his shirtsleeves and without a collar or tie, Lincoln spoke. Attacking the Kansas-Nebraska Act itself, he said: The Missouri Compromise forbade slavery to go north of 36Â°30'. Our government breaks down that restriction and opens the door for slavery to enter where it could not go.
