She was a little over two feet tall. She was a U.S. citizen. But she didn't speak English. She would go the bathroom in her pants. She couldn't feed herself. She cried often for no reason. She hit me.

She'd get out of the bath and there was no need...

We all know that sleep often becomes more difficult as we age. Some of us who've accumulated a certain number of birthday cards know this firsthand! We also know that our circadian "clocks" -- an internal mechanism that keeps us on a 24-hour, night-day cycle -- function less well with...
