Start by turning off the lights if you want them to sleep
Everyone in this movie seems to have trouble sleeping. "You look tired, you should go to sleep". "You need some sleep, you should stop for the day."
The concept of the film is that specialists are trying to help some people with sleep disorders (or something like that), but they're keeping them in a room brightly lit by office fluorescents 24 hours a day... But who the hell could sleep in such an environment?
The script definitely lacks realism. The film is riddled with nonsensical little details, as if no one had taken the time to revise the whole thing before launching the project. For example, when a VCR is turned off, the screen turns blue, it doesn't switch to a snowy screen (that's when a TV channel loses it's signal).
It's obvious that the actors are inexperienced, but you feel they've been given a chance, and they try their best.
The bad reviews are well-founded, but it's still a little film to watch on TV when there's nothing else on... It's not a complete failure.
