Tickets to the premiere, which was attended by Lovi and director Samantha Lee, quickly sold out.</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="506" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ostKUfc-THU" title="Sleep With Me Full Trailer | Streaming this August 15 on iWantTFC!" width="900"></iframe></div><p>The series revolves around Harry (Janine), a late-night radio DJ who gives relationship advice and uses a wheelchair, and Luna (Lovi), a girl who suffers from a sleep disorder that only allows her to fall asleep during the day. </p><p>Aside from the tender love story between the two female leads, the story will also shed light on the social injustices experienced by those who are not able-bodied, heteronormative individuals. </p><p>“I think Janine and Lovi’s characters both have their own set of issues that they deal with, that makes them excluded from society at large. It’s about people’s stories that don’t get told a lot,” direk Samantha, who is also known for her queer films “Baka Bukas” and “Billie and Emma,” said in a previous interview.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Lovi Poe and Janine Gutierrez" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/08/07/Sleep-with-me-2-.jpg"/></div><p>“The story is really something that I don’t think has been shown in the Filipino setting. I’m so excited for people to learn more about this topic and alam kong madaming makaka-relate. And at the core, it’s a love story na talagang you’ll get attached to and it will make you feel things,” Janine added. </p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Lovi Poe and Janine Gutierrez" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/08/07/Sleep-with-me-3.jpg"/></div><p>Stream all six episodes of “Sleep with Me” on August 15 for free on the <u><strong><a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/Mkr3OdLk6ab" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></strong></u> app (iOs and Android) and website (<a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/Mkr3OdLk6ab" target="_blank"><u><strong>iWantTFC.com</strong></u></a>).</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Sleep with me" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/08/07/Sleep-with-me-4.jpg"/></div><p>Viewers can get easy access to iWantTFC&#x27;s content library with its &quot;watch now, no registration needed&quot; feature.
