Sleeping All Day is devoted to unusual films and the people who love them. The site focuses on undermentioned films (primarily from the 1960s–2010s), interviews with wonderful and unique people in the “movie watching” business (i.e., rental houses and movie theaters), along with strategies to cope with life when one isn’t watching, best ways to watch, etcetera.
