Synopsis: HOW’D YOU SLEEP? is an absurdist slice of life exploration of one person’s battle with chronic insomnia. Our main character, let’s call them Dreamer, has the nightly misfortune of tossing and turning, lucid dreams that jolt them awake, racing thoughts and racing heartbeats. Over the course of what might be one night, or might be a year, we get a glance at the surreal, frustrating, humiliating, ridiculous ways that Dreamer tries to cope – and ultimately tries to fall back asleep.

Looking forward to reviewing submissions!

Thanks
