We spend about a third of our entire lives sleeping — or trying to. “The most common sleep disorder in America is people not getting enough sleep for lifestyle reasons. Insufficient sleep,” said Rafael Pelayo, a doctor with the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center in Redwood City. People with sleep issues go there to learn more about the quality and quantity of sleep they get.

I spent a night at the Clinic — hooked up to electrodes — to see what it was like. I got there around 5 in the evening. It began like any doctor's visit.
