Think ''The Graduate'', visually, but on a much smaller scale.
This is a fast-paced 5 page comedy, revolving around a neurotic protagonist in a zombie sleepwalking state but with some slapstick comedy. It's heavily visual to convey the comedy of operating on no sleep.
Jay can't sleep. When they do try to sleep their day starts and they are in a manic rush to get through it. Only problem they haven't sleep and so drag themselves in a zombie state through their day. Jay bumps into other barely "awake" sleepwalkers who suffer from the same malady and together they try to solve their constant sleepiness states. - Dates
