"Sleep" is a 1963 film by Andy Warhol which consists of long take footage of John Giorno, his lover at the time, sleeping for over five 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".

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."
