The Sleep Experiment by Jeremy Bates is a novel that explores themes of human experimentation, ethics, and the consequences of playing with the fundamental human need for sleep.

The story begins with Dr. Wallis, a charismatic and wealthy professor, who is determined to recreate the Soviet sleep experiment of the 1950s. He hires two students, Penny Park and Guru Rampal, to assist him in the experiment. The two test subjects, Sharon and Chad, are kept awake for 21 days using a stimulant gas in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. As the experiment progresses, the subjects begin to experience physical and mental deterioration, and the situation becomes increasingly chaotic.
