We’ve talked extensively about sleep and its science, but what happens when sleep becomes the story itself—on screen? Television has portrayed sleep, sleeplessness, and dreaming across decades of iconic storytelling. In this episode we will:

  • Highlight classic TV episodes where sleep or sleep disorders play a central role
  • Examine how sleep is portrayed in multiple genres
  • Review how accurately sleep is represented in some of the most famous shows
  • Discuss why sleep deprivation and dreaming are such powerful storytelling devices
  • Explore pop culture portrayals of sleep studies, insomnia, and dream manipulation
  • Share fun facts and behind-the-scenes trivia from episodes of The X-Files, Star Trek, The Simpsons, Schitt's Creek, and more

Produced by: Maeve Winter
