# Storyline
- 00:00–00:02 The video opens with a clip that shows a shaky first-person shot that seems to be taken up high in the air. There is on-screen text that reads, "when ur sleeping and your body does the fake fall thing". This is meant to establish the topic.
- 00:01–00:05 Following that, there is a clip that features a man and woman resting in a lounge chair. Overlaid on this is a man in a doctor's coat who states, "This situation is called a hypnic jerk, and it usually occurs when we just fall asleep." This is meant to provide context around the prior statement.
- 00:05–00:09 The video transitions to a person placing a phone on a nightstand, next to a color changing clock. The phone's screen is lit up as well. A person's voice says, "Just put your phone next to you, and it will record everything you do when you're asleep." The intention is to show how the product works.
- 00:08–00:13 The video shows a mockup of the app's screen as a person states, "...from snoring to talking, and even farting." The purpose is to show the features of the app in a humorous way.
- 00:13–00:19 The video shows a series of screenshots from the app and a person's voiceover states, "...and how much time you spent in each sleep phase. It keeps track of your sleep cycle, analyzes your sleep quality, and sends you a report." This is meant to be a description of the benefits.
