I think it's sort of like when people bemoan the frontage that banks take up on King St. It's not that banks in DTK aren't an essential service, it's just that they don't really need more street presence than a door.
A sleep clinic, or a bank, is certainly much better than a vacant unit. But unless they focus on landing some landmark tenants it won't be DTK's version of the Bauer buildings.

A sleep clinic is as boring as it gets, though one could hope that patients might actually go out with friends before heading to the clinic at night and then grab breakfast locally in the morning. (I've been to a sleep clinic twice, and so I know the routine). I am guessing between patients, and staff at the clinic, you might have 20 or 30 restless souls.
However, on another positive note, this clinic IS close to Communitech, so they might have more advanced options for patients, and I could see this turning into something much larger than first appearance. In a very good way. While I might only be dreaming here (ha ha...sorry. that wasn't meant to be punny), this could really end up putting us on the map. Or maybe I have been listening to too much REM. Kenneth had said it had something to do with our brains frequency.
Sorry.
Anyway, though, I was serious about this becoming larger than life. But perhaps this is just another boring garden variety sleep clinic.
That would be very large - half that (per night) would be more likely.
