Sure! "Sleepwalk with Me" is a 2012 comedy-drama film based on the true story of comedian Mike Birbiglia, who also co-wrote, directed, and starred in the film. The movie follows a young aspiring stand-up comedian named Matt Pandamiglio (played by Birbiglia) as he navigates the challenges of his personal and professional life.

In the film, Matt is in his late twenties and finds himself stuck in a stagnant career. He desperately wants to make it big as a comedian but struggles to find success, only getting gigs at small clubs and college campuses. His frustrations with his stalled career start to weigh heavily on him and add to the stress he is already facing.

Matt is also in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend Abby (played by Lauren Ambrose). However, their relationship has become stale and stagnant as well. They live together and have been dating for many years, but they seem to be drifting apart emotionally.

To make matters more complicated, Matt begins experiencing intense episodes of sleepwalking. These episodes become increasingly frequent and dangerous, causing him to act out his dreams, often resulting in bizarre and sometimes hazardous situations. Despite the potential harm to himself, Matt ignores his sleepwalking problem, fearing it may hinder his ability to pursue his comedic career.

As the film progresses, Matt's sleepwalking episodes become more serious, leading him to seek medical help. His doctor suggests that his sleepwalking might be a manifestation of the stress and anxiety he's facing in his waking life. With this revelation, Matt starts to realize that he needs to confront his personal issues, including his stagnant relationship with Abby and his struggles as a comedian.

Throughout the movie, "Sleepwalk with Me" offers a mix of comedy and heartfelt moments as Matt copes with his sleepwalking, romantic troubles, and career aspirations. It explores the complexities of following one's dreams, personal growth, and the challenges of maintaining relationships amidst life's uncertainties.

The film is a semi-autobiographical look into Mike Birbiglia's own experiences as a struggling comedian and his personal battles with sleepwalking. It provides a humorous and honest take on the difficulties of life, showcasing how personal growth and self-reflection can help navigate through challenging times.
