Restless legs syndrome
A recent study concluded that "about one in 10 people suffer weekly from [restless legs] syndrome that causes leg discomfort and leads to sleeplessness, and few are properly diagnosed by their physicians." I've certainly diagnosed my fair share of this, but only after having a high enough index of suspicion. More information can be found on this patient information page.

One-third of all adult Americans--about 50 million people--complain about their sleep. Some sleep too little, some fitfully, and some too much. Although one-third of our lives is spent asleep, most of us don't know much about sleep, not even our own. We don't even know exactly why we sleep, other than--like an overnight battery recharge--sleep promotes daytime alertness. Sleep problems profoundly disturb both sleeping and waking life.
