My wife recently expressed her irritation with the lack of sleep she’s been getting, or not getting I should say. When I asked her why, she proceeded to list her reasons, me being one of them.

I couldn’t resist… :)

The beauty of this motion graphic is that my wife had already laid out the storyboard for me. All I had to do was illustrate it, and that’s what I did. I began working out the sequences in illustrator, noting the number of motion elements and transitions. From there, it was just a matter of animating in after effects. The result is a comical story of what Sleep Deprivation looks like thru my wife’s eyes, which I’m sure many others can relate to.
