 I thought that Sleep was eight continues hours of John Giorno sleeping. Sleep has been much of my thoughts these days, and I was reminded of my long wish to view this film. I was reading a memorial of the filming and found out that the Bolex movie camera that Warhol used was only able to shoot 4-minutes of film at a time. He shot six and a half hours (thank you drugs) and the rest, to make up eight hours, was looped.

Andy Warhol:

"I could never finally figure out if more things happened in the sixties because there was more awake time for them to happen in (since so many people were on amphetamine), or if people started taking amphetamine because there were so many things to do that they needed to have more awake time to do them in... Seeing everybody so up all the time made me think that sleep was becoming pretty obsolete, so I decided I'd better quickly do a movie of a person sleeping. Sleep was the first movie I made when I got my 16mm Bolex."
