Description

"Losing Sleep presents interview footage of a self-confessed computer hacker who is struggling with chronic insomnia. His work on the computer has become such an all-encompassing cyberworld, that for him returning to the grounded physicla world is a frightening endeavour. 'Giving in' to sleep seems like a violent surrender. Yet only by submitting to simple physical acts, such as a long deliberate walk late at night, can he find any rest" (-Video liner notes)
