Sleep Apnea

Dead Tired is the first producion of Fults-Melton Studios. Dead Tired was created for The Chiller Channels Dare 2 Direct (http://www.chillertv.com/D2D2/) contest. The short was filmed on NO BUDGET and it turned out really well. We were on a tight schedule and short for time. Just to tell you how short, we edited it on the pc and next day had to FedEx Overnight it to get into the contest! If we weren’t pressed for time, we could have done some more, but really we did almost, at about 90%, of what we wanted. We were BLESSED to have great actors and actresses that made this quick productions so great.

A must see for all those who sleep less than 8 hours.
The 2 hour mini series is available on our website: http://www.mindfulmedia.com.au

This 2-part documentary will be the first to reveal the cutting edge science behind why most of us
are sleep deprived and the dramatic effect that it is having on both our bodies and our lives. The
documentary highlights the frightening reality that tiredness is now an unsuspecting killer that is
spreading like a pandemic through todays 24/7 activity-driven society.

Episode 1: Awake is the new sleep.

This episode investigates how sleep deprivation causes sickness and death in todays society. The
documentary examines the cutting edge science that proves tiredness impairs performance,
affects our mind and damages the body. The episode follows a unique scientific experiment where
we observe in real time what happens to a healthy 25-year old when he cuts back his sleep from 8
to 3 hours a night for one week. We witness how the subject becomes psychotic, dreams whilst
awake and drives a car while fast asleep!

Episode 2: Planet Insomnia

This episode investigates the causes, consequences and cures for insomnia which is now the
worlds most common medical disorder. The second episode features 4 personal stories of people
suffering from insomnia which includes an Australian woman who cured her insomnia with yoga,
and an American sleep doctor who attempts to cure the insomnia of a depressed suicidal
teenager. The episode also shows how an innovative American trucking company cured the sleep
problems of its 675 drivers and the amazing story of how an Australian woman broke into her ex-
boyfriends house and acted bizarrely after taking a sleeping pill.

Dead Tired was shot in Australia, America, Canada and England and follows the personal stories of
those affected by insomnia or sleep deprivation, and the medical discoveries of professionals who
are trying to cure them and others of this potentially fatal disorder.

These scenes of Saigon and the C-130 crew Merlin hotel were taken during the second half of 1968 into 1969 when I was serving as a C-130B copilot flying out of TSN, Vietnam. The music is Hat Tren Nhung Xac Nguoi (Singing above The Dead Bodies) sung by Khanh Ly, Thanks to Huan Pham for providing this translation:

Noon, I walk the hills/
Now I sing the dead/
On the roads, I have seen, I have seen/
Each one has one, this one screams//

Noon, I walk the hills/
Now I sing the dead/
I have seen, I have seen, garden here:/
Dead tired ma holds her dead girl//

This ma claps above her child/
This ma claps for peace, for peace/
Here some clap for life, for life/
Here some clap for end of life//

Noon, by berry groves/
Now I sing the dead/
By a road, I have seen, I have seen/
Old man hugs his stone cold son//

Noon, by berry groves/
Now I sing the dead/
I have seen, I have seen, ditches, shelters/
Filled with bodies, his and hers//

This ma claps, lets have more war/
This one clap, no more, no more/
Here some clap for hate, for blame/
Here some clap to shake off shame//

A video I made for the Beatles song I’m So Tired. It was released on their double disc The White Album in 1968. For more references about the stupid messed up Paul Is Dead hoax. Look for my Paul is Alive video.
