Exactly What It Says on the Tin, an episode or installment of a TV show, movie series, etc. that deals with a major character having insomnia. The plot almost always revolves around the character and his or her friends trying to find a way to resolve the problem, although sometimes it also revolves around the insomniac character refusing to accept his or her friends' help as they go about something they consider to be of vital importance. If Played for Laughs, expect the insomniac character to race around doing all sorts of crazy things while the other characters get increasingly fed up. See The Insomniac for a character who is usually suffering from sleeplessness. Sleep Deprivation is a Super-Trope. Compare "Getting Ready for Bed" Plot and Sleep Aesop. |

In one episode of The Smurfs, Gargamel is having terrible insomnia. Eventually, he looks up a sleeping spell in his spellbook, and casts it on himself using a mirror. That works, but it makes him sleepwalk... right into the Smurf Village. Suffice to say, Hilarity Ensues from there. | |

The Way of the Househusband: In Chapter 53, Tatsu has difficulty sleeping after watching a paranormal show and tries various methods to help him fall asleep. These methods include counting yakuza and making himself warm milk (which then escalates to him whipping up a whole meal, with the logic that eating a lot of food that helps you sleep = will make him sleepy). | |

Classic Disney Shorts: "How To Sleep", with Goofy unable to sleep, so an Anthropomorphic Personification of Science comes in to help. The Donald Duck cartoons "Early To Bed" and "Drip-Drippy Donald". In those cases it isn't that Donald has insomnia as such, it's that external factors (a Murphy's Bed, a dripping faucet) won't let him sleep. |

The Big Bang Theory: In one episode Sheldon is unable to sleep as long as he's left a specific science problem, one he's having a lot of trouble with, unsolved. Over the course of the episode he steals peas, then makes diagrams with marbles, and when those are not big enough he breaks into a generic Chuck E Cheese type place to use the balls from the ball pit. Bernadette tells him he would probably be able to solve it if he wasn't so sleep-deprived, but he doesn't listen. "The Anxiety Optimization", has a similar plot, with Sheldon raising his anxiety levels in an attempt to optimize his performance. Again, he ends up sleep deprived and hallucinating about armadillos. |

The Adventures in Wonderland episode "The Bunny Flop" combines this with a Sleep Deprivation plot. The night before the Queen and the White Rabbit are scheduled to appear on a live TV talk show, the White Rabbit is too full of Stage Fright to sleep. The next day he's exhausted and wants to take a nap before the show, but the Queen sends him searching through all of Wonderland for her missing shoe, so he has no time. He ends up dozing through the talk show. | |

Arthur: In the episode "Sleep No More", Buster is picked as one of the contestants to compete in an All-You-Can-Eat Pizza contest, but he finds that he cannot sleep because of pizza-related dreams that continuously plague him. There, he meets up with other contestants who also cannot sleep due to the excitement of the contest. Because of this, the contest is cancelled until everyone can get a good night's sleep. In "Buenas Noches, Vicita," Vicita loses her favorite bedtime storybook, The Very Magic Mango Tree, and can't sleep without having it read to her. To help her, Arthur and D.W. create a "do-it-yourself" copy of the book with the help of Vicita (who knows the story of the book by heart), but that night, Vicita realizes that she didn't finish the story properly, as its protagonist, Uaica, fell asleep in a tree at the end of the story when he was supposed to climb down and fall asleep under it. Becoming worried that Uaica may fall down from the tree unless she gets him down soon (she's 3 and ½ years old), Vicita falls asleep and has a dream where she and her stuffed llama Raulito (who becomes a fully animate Talking Animal in her Dream Sequence) are looking for Uaica and the magic mango tree he fell asleep in so they can get him down and Vicita can sleep again. The episode has Vicita's parents suffering from Sleep Deprivation as well, since on the night that Vicita lost The Very Magic Mango Tree, they had to stay up all night reading her several other storybooks in an unsuccessful attempt to help her fall asleep; her mother is shown taking a nap on a bench on the playground of Vicita's preschool the next day. |

Gintama: In one chapter/episode Kagura is unable to sleep and constantly pesters Gintoki to help her. Desperate to return to his slumber, he reluctantly gives her a few tips but is unsuccessful because she overdoes them all (runs several laps around town when advised to exercise and overeats when given food, making her extremely out of breath or bloated with a Balloon Belly instead of sleepy). By the end of the story, Kagura is finally able to sleep while listening to the radio... however Gintoki no longer can, thanks to a surprisingly creepy story from the radio scaring him. | |

M*A*S*H In "Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde", Hawkeye winds up going 3 days without sleep (lots of casualties plus his own inability to sleep between surgical shifts). He was even ordered to go to bed and responded with "not now, I need a little sleep". In "No Sweat", no-one can get to sleep during an intense heatwave. Charles spends the entire night organising his tax returns, only for someone to helpfully turn on a fan full-blast when he's finally got them sorted. Meanwhile Colonel Potter takes a powerful sleeping pill, so Hilarity Ensues whenever someone tries to wake him up to get something authorised. |

Beat Bugs In "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," Buzz, after hearing a Ghost Story about a Bug Zapper, can't go to sleep. In "I'm So Tired," Jay can't get to sleep because of the loud noise coming from a neighbor bug who's trying to add-on to his house at night due to his family multiplying as insects often will do. The neighbor constructs at night because there's the sweeping, working, washing, etc. to keep up with during the day. Jay's loud activities to keep himself distracted create a chain reaction keeping the other Beat Bugs awake. They decide to try to solve the problem by working themselves during the day to construct the add-on, but Buzz keeps falling asleep on the spot while they're trying to work, Crick is driving a crane tired, and Kumi can barely stay awake either. |

An episode of the The Drew Carey Show had this as its plot. After Kate married a Navy pilot and moved with him to a base in Guam, Drew goes several nights without sleep because every time he does, he dreams about her leaving. It gets to the point where it seriously starts to affect his daily life, and eventually his sister in-law, Mimi, takes him to a junkyard brandishing a shotgun. Drew thinks she'll finally put him down, but she gives him another shotgun, and explains that she felt so sorry for him, she had to do something. After shooting some garbage, Drew goes home and comes to the realization that he and Kate were not meant to be together and that he has to move on, and finally gets some much needed sleep. | |

Odd Squad: The episode "In Your Dreams" revolves around the Little O being unable to sleep due to the Dream Weaver, a villain who turns bad dreams into nightmares, planting her "Bad Dream Machine" in one of her dreams, and turning the rest of them into nightmares as she goes on a wild goose chase looking for it. The Mobile Unit works with O'Becca, an Odd Squad Sleep Scientist, and decides to help the Little O look for the machine and stop the Dream Weaver by having Orla and Osmerelda go into her dreams. The Little O ends up being so sleep-deprived that even when she, Orla and Osmerelda beat the Dream Weaver and she can have good dreams again, she falls right back asleep just as quickly as she woke up from her indoor-pool dream. | |

One episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog gives the Sandman himself (as in the ruler of all sleep and dreams) insomnia; he's the Lord of Sleep, and isn't able to sleep himself for some reason. (As one of his sheep-like minions says, "Yes, ironic.") After staling Muriel's sleeping sand so that he can sleep, it turns out that the reason he couldn't was because his teddy bear was missing. (No wonder.) | |

A recurring trouble in Book III of The Faerie Queene is characters being unable to sleep due to love-sickness: In Canto III, we hear about how Britomart had trouble sleeping for days after experiencing Love at First Sight out of a mix of fantasy, confusion, and guilt that eventually compels her to hunt down her love. In Canto IV, Arthur has a monologue that lasts through the night about how Dark Is Evil and the night brings out the worst of men's fears, regrets and sorrows that make it difficult for them to sleep anyway. The canto ends at dawn, with Arthur riding away completely exhausted. |

On one episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Sarah is put in a sleep ward when she has been unable to sleep for two straight weeks. Subverted when at the end of the episode we find out that the sleep ward plotline was All Just a Dream, which she was having while being held captive by a man she had shot earlier in the series, although it is hinted that she was still having sleep problems before this. | |

There is an episode of Two and a Half Men where Alan has trouble sleeping and visits a psychologist to hilarious effect and it's revealed that because Alan is resentful of Charlie for having such an easy life and how he almost never suffers, Alan can't sleep. By the end of the episode, Alan can sleep again because he got his wish of seeing Charlie suffer. | |

Pixel has been tired lately because he's deprived himself of sleep to play video games all night, until Sportacus tells him that a goods night's sleep every night is another thing needed to stay healthy and be active during the day. When Robbie Rotten gets word of this he deprives Sportacus of all sleep so he has no energy to play in the town's big baseball game. In "Hero For A Day" Robbie is the one dealing with no sleep, which has made him extra cranky and in the mood to cause chaos for all his friends. |

In song form, meaning it's shouting about why he shouldn't sleep. It only relents at seven in the morning, at which point the man figures if he just shuts his eyes for a moment, he might be okay... | |

The aptly titled Emergency! episode "Insomnia", where John just can't get to sleep during a run of night shifts, and becomes convinced he'll be able to sleep after they get a nighttime call. At the end of the episode, the station does get a nighttime call, but not for the rescue squad. Not to be discouraged, John grabs onto the rear handhold of the leaving fire engine and falls asleep on his feet. | |
