"Lullaby" - The Theater Show Where Every Body Goes to Bed

A London show does its best to lull audiences to sleep.



If you have trouble sleeping, "Lullaby" may be the perfect place to challenge your insomnia. Each night, the theater space is magically transformed into a "communal bedroom" shared with 50 people, from 10:30 at night to 9:00 in the morning.

Barbican, the London theater putting on the sold out show, describes it as "a gentle, slumber show designed to send you to sleep."

The theater's website even contains bedtime instructions: 

"Please bring with you your PJs or nightie, slippers, towel, toothbrush and toiletries. A change of clothes for the next day and a dressing gown are optional."

And for tech-addicts, resistance is futile; there is no mobile reception or WIFI access. Attendees have the option of booking a single, double or triple bed.

BitRebels deemed the show perfect for the Twitter obsessed, coining a hilarious new term - Twitsomnia, "the combination of too much Twitter and too little sleep."

All in all, this sounds like a deliciously relaxing experience!
