An estimated 70 million Americans have sleep disorders, yet insomnia remains one of the least understood of afflictions. We speak with author Gayle Greene about her new book “Insomniac,” which explores the lives of the chronically sleep deprived and the current state of sleep science. Greene is currently a professor of literature and Women’s Studies at Scripps College in Claremont and is also a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and a lifelong insomniac.
