He is a leading authority on sleep, sleep deprivation and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy. For this pioneering work in a previously uncharted field, he is sometimes referred to as the father of sleep medicine.

Dr. Dement
Фильм следует за стенд-ап комиком, у которого случился не лучший период в жизни. Его все возрастающее беспокойство по поводу неудач в личной жизни и карьере начинает проявляться в постоянно усиливающихся приступах лунатизма, которые герой безуспешно пытается игнорировать.

Self (as Dr. William C. Dement)
Filmmaker Alan Berliner chronicles his lifelong battle with insomnia in this intimate documentary. The cameras roll as he tries to quiet his overly active mind so he can get a decent night's sleep, capturing the details of what it's like to suffer from a chronic sleep disorder. As he struggles to find balance, his friends and family -- who endure the worst of Berliner's bouts with insomnia -- question whether he really wants to find a cure.
