    Time to bake my best!
[01:06] Viola
    They're all set!
[01:12] Viola
    Mama!
[01:14] Viola
    Look at these!
[01:17] Alyssa
    What did you bake?

[03:15] Viola
    Don't these chocolate cookies look yummy?
[03:17] Alyssa
    Huh?
[03:20] Alyssa
    Y-Yeah!
[03:21] Alyssa
    Chocolate cookies! Right...
[03:26] Viola
    Sometimes you just suddenly
    want to bake snacks, you know?
[03:32] Alyssa
    Th-They absolutely look like poop...
[03:35] Alyssa
    Do I scold her for playing
    with food, or...
[03:41] Alyssa
    L-Listen, Viola... Those cookies...
[03:46] Viola
    Oh, right.
[03:48] Viola
    I tried shaping them like coiled-up jinn eels!
[03:54] Viola
    I didn't get them quite right,
    so I'm a little embarrassed.
[03:57] Alyssa
    No, they're perfect!
    Anyone could see that they're eels!
[04:02] Viola
    Really?
[04:03] Viola
    Yay! A compliment from Mama!
[04:07] Alyssa
    Stupid, stupid Alyssa!
[04:10] Alyssa
    I'm terrible for thinking
    food looked like p—
[04:14] Alyssa
    My heart is impure.
[04:15] Alyssa
    Viola put her all into making these!
[04:23] Alyssa
    That's right, Alyssa.
    These cookies are coiled-up jinn eels!
[04:27] Eel 1
    It's me!
[04:30] Eel 2
    Nice to meet you!
[04:31] Eel 3
    Hello!
[04:32] Eel 4
    How are you?
[04:33] Eel 5
    Okay, okay!
[04:35] Eel 6
    Have a nice day!
[04:36] Eel 7
    Don't worry!
[04:37] Eel 8
    Here we go!
[04:39] Eel 9
    Oh my God!
[04:39] Eel 10
    Hi!
[04:40] Alyssa
    Now eels are all I see.
    They're starting to seem cute!
[04:45] Viola
    I couldn't really get
    this one to coil, though.
[04:49] Alyssa
    It's p—It's precious!

[04:54] Alyssa
    Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!
[04:59] Viola
    Mama, what's wrong? Are you sick?
[05:01] Alyssa
    Don't worry, the only problem
    is with my head!
[05:05] Viola
    Why are you suddenly bashing yourself?!
[05:07] Viola
    I'm not sure what's wrong,
    but try eating a cookie to cheer up.
[05:12] Viola
    It's fresh from the oven, so it's piping hot!
[05:14] Alyssa
    Don't use tongs to hold it!
[05:17] Viola
    Huh? But it'd be dangerous
    to use my bare hands.
[05:21] Alyssa
    Y-You're right... That wouldn't be good...
[05:26] Alyssa
    I've got it!
[05:28] Alyssa
    I bet they only look like that
    because they're brown.
[05:31] Alyssa
    I'm sure another color wouldn't bother me!
[05:35] Viola
    Mama?
[05:36] Alyssa
    Hey.
[05:37] Alyssa
    Want to make some in other flavors?
    I'll bake with you.
[05:43] Viola
    Yay! Sounds great!
[05:59] Viola
    I think Mama's having fun!
[06:01] Alyssa
    O-Oh, no! I'm 223 years old,
    but I couldn't help laughing
[06:06] Alyssa
    at the colorful array of p—
[06:11] Alyssa
    Snap out of it, Alyssa. These are jinn eels!
[06:16] Viola
    You know, I think we made a few too many.
[06:19] Viola
    Hey, let's give them as gifts!
[06:23] Alyssa
    Hold it right there!
[06:27] Viola
    Is this a good way to wrap them?
[06:30] Viola
    No putting them in plastic bags!
[06:33] Viola
    Is there something wrong
    with my cookies after all?
[06:36] Alyssa
    No, not at all!
[06:38] Viola
    But Mama, you've been acting weird.
[06:41] Viola
    I thought maybe you couldn't bear
    to tell me because you're too nice.
[06:44] Alyssa
    No, Viola, you've done nothing wrong!
[06:48] Alyssa
    I'm the one who's bad and wrong!
[06:50] Alyssa
    My impure heart makes me see the world wrong
[06:53] Alyssa
    because I'm a terrible mother
    who should be ashamed of herself!
[06:55] Viola
    That's going overboard!
[07:00] Alyssa
    Sorry I made you worry.
[07:03] Alyssa
    They're really good!
[07:06] Viola
    Really?
[07:07] Alyssa
    Mm-hmm!
[07:12] Alyssa
    They're so good, I can't help but smile!
[07:16] Viola
    Mama...
[07:17] Viola
    Thank goodness.
    Time for me to have one, too!
[07:31] Viola
    Mama?! Oh, no, I'll get you some water!
[07:34] Alyssa
    Wait, it's not stuck
    in my throat or anything—
[07:38] Phoenix
    I smell something sweet.
[07:51] Phoenix
    I do not approve of playing
    with one's food. Bad girl!
[07:56] Alyssa
    Th-This isn't what it looks like!
[08:02] Narrator
    Later, everyone enjoyed
    the cookies together.
[08:10] Narrator
    Jinn eels. Strictly speaking,
    they are not spirits,
[08:14] Narrator
    but monsters which strikingly
    resemble spotted garden eels.
[08:16] Narrator
    Despite their steely gaze,
    they are exceedingly mild-mannered.
[08:20] Narrator
    They come in diverse patterns and colors,
[08:22] Narrator
    and the golden jinn eel is said
    to be a symbol of good fortune.
[08:27] Golden Jinn Eel
    God bless you.
[08:34] Viola
    "And then they lived
    happily ever after. The end."
[08:42] Alyssa
    Viola, it's time to go to sleep.
[08:45] Viola
    Aw, but I'm not sleepy.
[08:47] Alyssa
    Sheesh.
[08:49] Alyssa
    If you don't go to sleep,
    the Sandmann will come for you!
[08:56] Viola
    Wow, I haven't heard that story in a while!
[08:59] Alyssa
    If kids stay up too late, he plucks
    out their eyes to take home!
[09:06] Viola
    I'm not scared.
[09:07] Viola
    I know that's just a made-up story
    to get kids to go to sleep.
[09:13] Viola
    He told me so himself.
[09:17] Sandmann
    It's all over.
[09:19] Alyssa
    He talked!
SIGN    The Insomnia Circumstances
    of the Sleep Fairy
[09:23] Sandmann
    "The Insomnia Circumstances
    of the Sleep Fairy."
[09:28] Narrator
    The Sandmann: a Sleep Fairy who carries
    a bag of magical sand on his back.
[09:34] Narrator
    Legend has it that he sprinkles the sand
    in people's eyes to make them sleep.
[09:40] Alyssa
    A-A-Are you really him?
[09:43] Sandmann
    I am.
[09:47] Sandmann
    Shall I pluck out your eyes to prove it?
[09:52] Alyssa
    He's gonna kill us!
[09:55] Sandmann
    I'm only joking.
[09:57] Sandmann
    As I told the dark-haired young lady,
[10:00] Sandmann
    that's just something people
    made up to get kids to sleep.
[10:03] Sandmann
    As real proof, and as my apology,
    I'll give you my autograph.
[10:09] Alyssa
    Th-Thank you?
[10:15] Viola
    Yay!
[10:19] Alyssa
    So, Mr. Sandmann,
    what brings you to our house?
[10:25] Sandmann
    Well...
[10:27] Sandmann
    I've been having trouble sleeping lately.
[10:29] Alyssa
    Even though you're a Sleep Fairy?!
[10:49] Sandmann
    The insomnia made me nod off mid-flight,
[10:53] Sandmann
    and I crashed through your window.
[10:57] Alyssa
    Th-That does explain the breeze in here.
[11:01] Viola
    I was reading him this book
    to help him sleep.
[11:04] Sandmann
    I apologize for the trouble.
[11:07] Viola
    It didn't work, though.
[11:09] Viola
    I see...
[11:12] Alyssa
    Wait.
[11:14] Alyssa
    Don't you have magic sand
    that puts people to sleep?
[11:19] Alyssa
    Isn't this the time to use it?
[11:24] Sandmann
    I'm afraid if I use it once,
    I won't be able to stop.
[11:28] Alyssa
    You've been putting addictive
    dust in people's eyes?!
[11:31] Sandmann
    I abide by the usage and dosing
    instructions, obviously!
[11:35] Sandmann
    Plus, I can put people to sleep
    without it by sitting on their eyelids.
[11:40] Man
    Wah! My eyelids feel so heavy!
[11:44] Alyssa
    That's scary in a different way.
[11:46] Sandmann
    But you're right, young lady.
    I'm ashamed of myself as a Sleep Fairy.
[11:52] Alyssa
    I'm sorry! I didn't mean to criticize you.
[11:56] Viola
    You don't have any idea what's causing it?
[12:00] Sandmann
    Stress, I suppose...
[12:03] Alyssa
    That's simple, yet heavy.
[12:05] Viola
    Then all we have to do is deal
    with the source of your stress!
[12:10] Viola
    If it's something a laser beam
    could take care of, I can help!
[12:13] Phoenix
    Yay.
[12:13] Alyssa
    Make that the last resort.
[12:17] Sandmann
    I appreciate the thought,
[12:19] Sandmann
    but the older we get, the more
    complicated our stress becomes.
[12:26] Sandmann
    One day, young lady,
[12:29] Sandmann
    you too will encounter something
    that can't be solved with force.
[12:34] Alyssa
    What are you teaching my child?!
[12:41] Viola
    Solving everything
    at once might be impossible,
[12:44] Viola
    but maybe we could get rid
    of one source at a time?
[12:47] Viola
    What's your biggest stress?
[12:51] Sandmann
    My wife leaving me the other day, I suppose.
[12:55] Viola
    He's right, a laser beam won't solve that.
[13:00] Sandmann
    Also, there's huge pressure on my bladder,
[13:03] Sandmann
    and the pain in all my joints bothers me.
[13:05] Alyssa
    Are you seeing a doctor like you should?
[13:08] Sandmann
    Not really.
[13:09] Viola
    We might be able to solve
    that one with a beam!
[13:13] Phoenix
    Eternal Breath: Version 2!
[13:21] Alyssa
    I don't think we should overuse Phoen!
[13:24] Viola
    But isn't Phoenix perfect for this?
[13:26] Viola
    He once knocked me out
    in less than a second.
[13:31] Sandmann
    That's terrifying without context.
[13:34] Alyssa
    It's not nice to call him up
    in the middle of the night, though.
[13:38] Alyssa
    Even if he's like family to us,
[13:41] Alyssa
    we still have to be considerate
    about when we summon.
[13:44] Phoenix
    This week I plan to detox
    at an active volcano.
[13:49] Viola
    You're right! Personal lives are important.
[13:53] Alyssa
    So, if you're willing to wait
    for another day,
[13:56] Alyssa
    we can introduce you to a phoenix
[13:57] Alyssa
    whose beams have life-
    and sleep-bringing effects...
[14:01] Sandmann
    I'll pass. Too scary.
[14:04] Viola
    You don't like beams?
[14:06] Viola
    Phoenix can sing a soothing melody, too!
[14:19] Viola
    Apparently, you hallucinate if you listen
    more than five minutes, though.
[14:23] Sandmann
    What is your family keeping here?!
[14:30] Alyssa
    I know! Would you like some hot milk?
[14:34] Alyssa
    It might relax you and make you sleepy.
[14:39] Sandmann
    Milk really is the solution?!
[14:47] Sandmann
    S-Sorry for getting agitated.
[14:50] Sandmann
    One of my colleagues pours
    milk in people's eyes...
[14:56] Narrator
    Ole Lukøje: a Sleep Fairy
    who wears rainbow clothes
[14:59] Narrator
    and carries two umbrellas.
[15:02] Narrator
    Legend has it that he pours milk
    on people's eyes to make them sleep.
[15:07] Sandmann
    That jerk and his flashy,
    pretentious clothes...
[15:11] Sandmann
    I hope he spills his milk,
    wipes it with a rag,
[15:13] Sandman
    sniffs it, and faints in agony!
[15:16] Alyssa
    The sandman industry has
     its circumstances too, huh?
[15:19] Viola
    Wow. If something has to go in
    my eyes, I'd prefer milk to sand.
[15:27] Sandmann
    A candid opinion from a patron!
[15:30] Alyssa
    P-P-Please calm down!
[15:33] Viola
    How about a lullaby, then?
[15:35] Viola
    When I was little, Mama's
    lullabies put me right to sleep.
[15:39] Alyssa
    Lullabyyy and goodniiight...
[15:47] Sandmann
    Let's try one, then.
[15:56] Alyssa
    What a weird sight...
[16:05] Alyssa
    He's staring at me!
[16:07] Alyssa
    M-Maybe you should close your eyes...
[16:11] Sandmann
    I'm sorry. You're being so kind to me,
[16:15] Sandmann
    which makes me feel so guilty
    that I'm wide awake.
[16:19] Alyssa
    Oh, no, did we pressure you?!
[16:23] Alyssa
    At this point, maybe it's best not to
    try to force yourself to sleep.
[16:28] Viola
    Good point.
[16:30] Viola
    Maybe he's thinking "I have to sleep" so hard
[16:32] Viola
    that it's having the opposite effect.
[16:37] Sandmann
    You must never think
    that you don't need sleep!
[16:40] Alyssa
    Huh?! Uh, y-y-yes, sir!
[16:42] Sandmann
    Insufficient sleep causes
    all sorts of health problems.
[16:46] Sandmann
    Depression, lifestyle-related diseases,
[16:49] Sandmann
    hormone imbalances,
    and autonomic dysfunctions.
[16:52] Sandmann
    The list goes on.
[16:54] Sandmann
    People stay up late
    thinking it's no big deal,
[16:56] Sandmann
    but if the sleep debt accumulates
    too much, only death awaits!
[17:00] Sandmann
    As a Sleep Fairy, let me say one thing!
[17:04] Sandmann
    Everyone go to sleep!
[17:08] Alyssa
    That's super compelling!
[17:14] Sandmann
    I mustn't put you to any more trouble.
[17:17] Sandmann
    I'll compensate you for the window tomorrow.
[17:22] Alyssa
    We can't just leave you alone!
[17:23] Viola
    You'll crash again!
[17:28] Viola
    I guess being a Sleep Fairy means he really
    pushes himself when it comes to sleep.
[17:32] Alyssa
    Putting him to sleep with magic
    would only be a stopgap.
[17:35] Alyssa
    It doesn't address the fundamental issue...
[17:39] Alyssa
    There's only one place to go.
[17:42] Viola
    Where?
[17:43] Narrator
    ZZZzzz
[17:47] Narrator
    The next day...
[17:49] Benny
    All right, that completes today's exam.
[17:53] Benny
    Let's work together
    to get you sleeping better.
[17:57] Benny
    You don't need to worry too much
    about your other symptoms.
[18:02] Benny
    If you have any other health concerns,
    feel free to consult us.
[18:06] Sandmann
    Thank you, doctor.
SIGN    Step right this way, sir.
[18:13] Sandmann
    All right.
SIGN    Take care!
[18:21] Sandmann
    You've done so much for me,
    more than I deserve.
[18:25] Sandmann
    I can't thank you enough.
[18:27] Alyssa
    Nonsense. I'm just glad
    the problem seems solvable.
[18:31] Alyssa
    Being a Sleep Fairy doesn't mean you need
    to be embarrassed about insomnia, okay?
[18:36] Alyssa
    Consulting a professional
    is definitely better
[18:39] Alyssa
    than trying to solve
    these things as a layman.
[18:42] Viola
    Don't bottle up your worries.
[18:45] Sandmann
    Yes. Next time I'll swallow my silly pride
    and ask a doctor for advice.
[18:52] Sandmann
    I plan to properly
    speak with my wife as well.
[18:55] Alyssa
    Please try not to angst
    too much about that, either.
[18:59] Sandmann
    Before I go, I know it's not much,
[19:02] Sandmann
    but here's a thank-you gift.
[19:07] Alyssa
    This is...
[19:09] Viola
    How pretty!
[19:10] Sandmann
    Evidently, my sand fetches
    a high price among humans.
[19:15] Sandmann
    Please, sell it and treat
    yourself to something.
[19:25] Alyssa
    So, I thought I'd do as he suggested.
[19:30] Giriko
    You're saying you have
    Sandmann sleep dust? For real?
[19:34] Alyssa
    Hmm? Yeah, I do.
[19:37] Giriko
    Are you kidding me?!
[19:39] Giriko
    Depending on how much you have,
    you could get at least a million for it!
[19:44] Giriko
    It's a mega-rare item that's
    almost impossible to get!
[19:47] Giriko
    People would line up around
    the block to get some!
[19:50] Giriko
    Actually, I'm buying it!
[19:53] Giriko
    Tell no one you have it!
    It could attract dangerous thieves!
[19:58] Giriko
    Lock all your doors and
    windows until I get there.
[20:01] Giriko
    I'm far away right now for work,
    so I can't get there fast!
[20:22] Alyssa
    I can't sleep.
[20:25] Narrator
    We are told that in the several days
    before Giriko arrived,
[20:27] Narrator
    Alyssa couldn't sleep a wink.
[21:41] Alyssa
    This is Alyssa.

[21:57] Viola
    What's a fairy tale theater?
[21:59] Alyssa
    Wait and see!
[22:26] Narrator
    "I know I need to sleep.
    In fact, I want to sleep, but I can't."
[22:30] Narrator
    "What should I do?"
[22:31] Narrator
    Can you answer our viewer's question?
[22:35] Sandmann
    Ah, I see. I expressed myself poorly before.
[22:42] Sandmann
    But it's important to know
[22:43] Sandmann
    that there's a difference between
    "I don't sleep" and "I can't sleep."
[22:47] Sandmann
    There's no need to feel guilty
    for not being able to sleep!
[22:51] Sandmann
    Each of us has their own circumstances.
[22:55] Sandmann
    But I believe any inability to sleep
    is a serious warning sign.
[22:59] Sandmann
    It was for me.
[23:03] Sandmann
    Please, try to determine whether
    the cause is environmental or biological,
[23:08] Sandmann
    and use the appropriate organizations,
    facilities, and systems to resolve it.
[23:14] Sandmann
    At the risk of repeating myself, I assure you
    there's no need for guilt or shame.
[23:20] Sandmann
    I'd like you to value your desire to sleep.
[23:26] Sandmann
    That's what I, the Sleep Fairy,
    would like to advise anyone struggling.
[23:31] Sandmann
    I pray that you get peaceful sleep soon.
[23:35] Alyssa
    This somehow turned into
    a consultation corner.
