Jacquis and Sophia dim the lights in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.

An ode to the Irish exit (bed by 11:30, no goodbyes) turns into a sleepy-time summit with comedian Gianmarco Soresi—insomnia, night terrors, doom-scrolling, and the mysterious power that knocks you out at Broadway prices. They trade survival tactics (espresso IVs for Act I, alarm-clock etiquette for couples, neighbor diplomacy letters) before a cozy round of “Would You Rather”: beach nap vs. igloo snooze, and bedroom fireplace vs. clawfoot tub at the foot of the bed. Gianmarco closes with a plug for his hour Thief of Joy (free on YouTube) and his podcast The Downside.

What you’ll hear

• Irish exit supremacy: why leaving before 11 is self-care
• Sleep confessions: insomnia, night terrors, and why theaters = instant naps
• Alarm etiquette: snoozers vs. civilians, New York neighbor diplomacy, “I just got my son to sleep” method acting
• Creative noise: hotel-room vocal warmups, dance parties, and apology notes that overshare
• Would You Rather (sleep edition): beach vs. igloo; fireplace glow vs. tub-side slumber
• Plug corner: Gianmarco Soresi’s Thief of Joy (YouTube) + The Downside podcast
