Alex is not sleeping, though it takes him eight nights of insomnia to admit that it is an issue. He becomes desperate enough to accept Skippy spending a night in his room, though once Skippy inadvertently blurts out Alex's struggles to the rest of his family, his insomnia begins to affect the rest of the house.
!!Examples:
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Alex sports these for most of the episode.
* InsomniaEpisode: The whole plot revolves around Alex's desperation to sleep and how it begins to affect his family.
* LapPillow: Alex finally falls asleep while listening to [[spoiler: the Three Little Pigs story]] in Elyse's arms. PlayedForLaughs as Alex shifts positions and traps Elyse in the bed, therefore keeping her awake.
* PajamaCladHero: Alex and the rest of the Keatons spend most of the episode in sleepwear, for obvious reasons.
* PercussiveMaintenance: Steven's attempt to install a smoke alarm means it goes off whenever a door is slammed, be it back or fridge door. By halfway through the episode they've come up with a rotating schedule to smack the alarm to make it stop beeping.
* ScoobyStack: Steven, Elyse, Jennifer and Mallory form one while checking to see if Alex has fallen asleep.
* WhatHaveIBecome: When he reaches the peak of his insomnia crisis, Alex stresses over what it's turning him into. His cries of despair inadvertently wake the rest of the family.
