Why do people spend on average one-third of their lives asleep? This 60 Minutes video clip explores what happens inside our brains and bodies while we’re asleep.

These include promoting obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, accidents, and impaired cognitive performance. Naps can help, but what is most important is that people get seven and a half to eight hours of sleep every night.
