Shared bed. Different dreams…

Meet Ethan and Gabe: the picture-perfect devoted couple. They may have drifted to different ends of the political spectrum, but their marriage still has its spark.

Then Ethan makes a shocking announcement: he wants to run for Congress as a Republican. And he will only do it with progressive Gabe’s blessing.

Kate is a reporter – but the adrenaline rush of chasing a story has lost its thrill. When she reconnects with her ex-girlfriend Nicole, a frustrated stay-at-home mum, it upends both their lives.

Each of them is forced to ask themselves: how do we bridge the gap between who we are and who we aspire to be?

A sharply observed comedy of manners about public image versus private life, How to Sleep at Night dissects family ties stretched thin by ambition.
