Directed by Nick Grinde
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
A lecturer seated at a desk promises an informative film about how to sleep; it’s a sequel to and inspired by “How to stay awake,” which put his audience to sleep. He plans to examine the causes of sleep, the causes of insomnia, and recent research on sleep, including a time-lapse film of a man changing positions 55 times during an 8-hour rest: why exercise, he asks, when you can sleep like a top? The film instructs one on how to get a drink of water during the night without waking completely, and other useful skills for the insomniac.

Viewing Notes
Another short film on the Classic Hollywood set I got from the library (for ARSENIC AND OLD LACE). This one is mildly amusing but just okay. Features Robert Benchley attempting different methods to overcome insomnia.
