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]]." ==External links== *{{imdb title|0187513|Sleep}} *[http://www.warholstars.org/filmch/sleep.html Sleep by Andy Warhol] *[http://www.warholstars.org/warhol/warhol1/warhol1b/johngiorno.html ''My 15 Minutes''] - John Giorno about his appearance in ''Sleep''.
