Twice in July, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit expanded the sweep of a "major life activity" under the nation's antidiscrimination law for federal employees. First, the court said sleep qualified. Now sex is on the list. That is, disabilities that promote sleeplessness or the inability to have sex are covered by the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, the court ruled.
