Trivia[]
- The title could possibly be a reference to Mike Flanagan's thriller/psychological horror movie, Doctor Sleep.
- Theodore mentions that not getting enough sleep can lead to hallucinations. This is a real life side effect for people suffering from insomnia (a condition in which people find it impossible to fall asleep at night)
- The code to one of Simon's laboratories is 1958, which is the year that The Chipmunks were first created.
- Additionally, Simon standing in the road and challenging a car is a reference to when a chipmunk had jumped out in front of Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.'s car and dared him to drive past.
- Series Running Gag: Miss Croner calls someone by the wrong name - Siegfried instead of Simon.
- The jetpack from A Is For Alien makes a reappearance.
- Goof: Simon is wearing his daytime clothes when Dave finds him in the basement. He calls a meeting in the living room to demonstrate his invention, and in the living room he's wearing his pajamas. When the invention goes wrong, he runs into Dave's office, and as soon as the scene changes to the office, he's back in his daytime clothes. Also, at the end of the episode, Simon's in bed without his glasses on. The camera cuts to the doctor and then back to Simon, and he's wearing his glasses. Another quick cut to Dave, and when it cuts back to Simon the glasses are gone again.
