Nice concept, although it seems I had some performance issues and stuttering

Having trouble sleeping is something I heavily relate to, so seeing a game of what it feels like is really cool and relatable! I enjoyed the challenge in the game, managed to sleep 3 hours! The blue lines sometimes made it tough to navigate and just had to eat them, besides that, great work!

This is such a clever concept!  I love the premise.  Falling asleep is a struggle I can relate to, lol.  I like that the interruptions don't kill you, and there's a way to recover and try to get some sleep.  I agree that the blue lines are brutal.  I had to plow right through them a lot of the time.  I like the other obstacles (are those energy drinks?  Haha).  It's strange how this game can feel both frantic...and relaxing.  It's an interesting vibe.  I keep going back for more.  Great job!

I really enjoyed the music in this game. Is it or will it be available to listen to somewhere else?

Nice game! I've slept one hour! 

the overall gameplay feels great even tho for some of the mob it feels kinda unforgiving (especially the blue line could have gone on and off to give a chance to dodge them)
