Overcoming Insomnia - PSA Parody (1080p HD)

This is a shorter, color version of my earlier dark comedy short that makes fun of 1950s style educational videos. The remedies for sleeplessness get increasingly more absurd as the insomniac gets more desperate. This video is meant to be funny. Please do not take it seriously or in any way use it as a guide to curing a real sleep disorder. Directed by Patrick C. Clinton. Starring Chad White. Narrated by Mary Alice Gunther. Music by Kevin MacLeod. A Roaming Armadillo Production.

With so much discussion about sleep disorders in the Michael Jackson trial, it is important for people to learn more about the subject.

For real information on insomnia, CNN put together a useful list of tips at http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/01/get-some-sleep-fall-back-tips/.

For an overview of some of the different drugs that can help, the New York Times wrote a very useful article at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/fashion/mothers-and-sleep-medication.html.

Your News Now also has a very informative article on insomnia at http://centralny.ynn.com/content/health/562535/healthy-living--insomnia/.
