SLEEPY HEAD is a captivating 2025 Nigerian feature film blending romantic comedy, youthful ambition, emotional growth, and self-discovery. Led by charismatic performances from Maurice Sam, Mercy Eke, and Isoken Igbinigie, this movie explores how laughter, love, and clarity can awaken a heart that’s been snoozing on life.

The story follows Chuks (Maurice Sam), a good-hearted but chronically sleepy dreamer whose biggest struggle isn’t just waking up — it’s waking up to his own potential and believing he deserves more than survival. With hilarious morning mishaps, late-night dreams, and an ongoing internal battle with laziness, Chuks becomes the relatable face of a generation that wants change but fears commitment.

Enter Ada (Mercy Eke) — a smart, confident go-getter whose presence forces Chuks to rethink his ambitions. Ada is everything Chuks seems not to be: disciplined, goal-driven, and emotionally grounded. Their paths cross humorously and then meaningfully, teaching him that love isn’t just about finding someone, but about becoming someone worthy of love.

Meanwhile, Teni (Isoken Igbinigie), Chuks’ loyal best friend, balances comedy with wisdom — pushing him to chase his goals while helping him navigate the emotional complexity of his developing relationship with Ada. Through friendship, laughter, heartbreak, and moments of truth, Chuks is challenged to wake up not just from sleep, but from fear, avoidance, and self-sabotage.

This film is more than a romantic comedy — it’s a story about maturing through love, finding purpose, breaking habits, and choosing ambition over comfort.
