'''''Sleep''''' is a [[1963 in film|1963]] film by [[Andy Warhol]] which consists of [[long take]] footage of [[John Giorno]], his lover at the time, sleeping for six hours. The film was one of Warhol's first experiments with filmmaking, and was created as an "anti-film". Warhol would later extend this technique to his eight-hour-long film ''[[Empire (1964 film)|Empire]]''.
The film is referenced in an episode of [[Daria]], in which Jane remarks "Andy Warhol filmed eight hours of a guy sleeping and people thought it was brilliant". To this Daria responds "These people felt different after they got into [[twelve-step programs]]."
