Sleepless in New York is a 2014 documentary film about heartbreak and how to overcome it by director and producer Christian Frei.

Oscar-nominated director Christian Frei and award-winning cinematographer Peter Indergand dive into the frenzied nights of three people who have recently been rejected: nights full of pain and tears, yet also of wakefulness and creativity.

Anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher reveals the processes that unfold in the brain of the lovesick.

It’s not the depressing look at love you may be imagining, and we’re witness to people coming through these hard times with a fiery, new spirit, and a renewed outlook on life.Sleepless in New York is able to superbly personalize those feelings of desertion and anxiety we’ve all felt after a major breakup.

The filmmaker takes matters further by welcoming anthropologist Helen Fisher to introduce psychological theories that explain the hurt and why we react the way we do.
