![]() ![]() I found out if I go over an hour then that's the danger zone because then if you sleep like two or three hours, then you wake up and you're just groggy for the whole day. And actually, I probably only get an average six hours a night. Like just a little bit of noise or a little bit of light and I can't sleep. Sarah: I can sleep in any situation light, noise, sitting up. As soon the light comes through the window, I wake up. Actually, that's why I always wake up so early. Todd: Like can you sleep with the light on? Sarah: No, because then I feel really like groggy and really like irritable if I take naps because I just want to sleep longer than that amount of time. So that's why I have to have an alarm clock because I could sleep 12 or 14 hours and not wake up. Like it really doesn't matter what type of day, it's very easy for me to fall asleep for as long as whenever. I'm always paranoid about being late so that's why I set two just in case like one doesn't go off. So yeah, I don't use alarm clocks at all. To me an alarm clock is like somebody throwing cold water on you, you know. And I can't – like an alarm clock – the idea actually, I can't have a deep sleep if I know that it's going to ring and wake up, like it's going to jolt. You know what's weird – because I don't use alarm clocks. I wish it was that way for me, but it's not. ![]() When I tell people this, sometimes they think, "Oh come on, that's not true." But really, ever since I was a kid I could just tell myself what time I want to wake up and I'll wake up exactly at that time. I don't know how – I guess your brain just can keep time. Get up at 5:43." And I'll wake up at 5:43, exactly. So like, if I have to get up at 5:43, before I go to bed, I can say, "Okay. I thought that everybody can do this but I found out it's not the case, but I can wake up exactly at the minute I want, any time. ![]() ![]() I actually have this kind of weird mental ability. So I usually set two alarms and that will usually get me up. Even though I wake up very easily, I don't wake up at a routine time easily. Sarah: I definitely have to have an alarm clock. Todd: Now, do you need an alarm clock to wake you up or you just wake up naturally everyday? Sleep is very important for me to feel normal and energetic. Todd: And you are pretty consistent, like even on the weekends, you get eight hours. It depends on how late I stay up but usually about eight hours, I try to get every night. How many hours of sleep do you usually get every night? The underground world depicted in the film required the largest indoor set ever built in Australia.Todd: So Sarah, let's talk about sleep. Trivia buffs will be interested to know that the film's 50-plus sets (partially inspired by German expressionism) were built at the Fox Film Studios in Sydney, Australia, home base of director Alex Proyas and producer Andrew Mason. One-dimensional characters are no match for the film's abundance of retro-futuristic style, so it's best to admire the latter on its own splendidly cinematic terms. And while that's certainly enough to grab your attention (Blade Runner is considered a classic, after all), it's painfully clear that Dark City has precious little heart and soul. Before long, however, the film becomes interesting only as a triumph of production design. It's one of those films that exists in a world purely of its own making, setting its own rules and playing by them fairly, so that even its derivative elements (and there are quite a few) acquire their own specific uniqueness. If you're a fan of brooding comic-book antiheroes, got a nihilistic jolt from The Crow (1994), and share director Alex Proyas's highly developed preoccupation for style over substance, you might be tempted to call Dark City an instant classic of visual imagination. ![]()
