Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

I Don't Sleep at Night is a multi-media installation that combines theater, game design, and virtual reality. Visitors are invited to enter a theatrically immersive space arranged as a sleep disorder patient’s room. By interacting with the objects within the space, visitors can co-create the narrative of a sleep disorder patient’s story. In the center of the room, a VR device serves as an entrance to guide visitors to a future world. In the future world, will humans still be living on a 24-hour cycle? Is "daytime" really THE “daytime"?


I Don't Sleep at Night is presented in partnership with Hybrid Arts Lab, a multi-venue learning lab that experiments with how art is imagined, made, viewed and understood within physical and digital spaces.
