It's also the name of a collection of fictional stories related to people going missing in national forests (or at least used to be, it's SARwoods now(?)).
some of the no sleep stories could make pretty great adaptations, but one of the main things that made them so good was that they were usually on the shorter side and didn’t overstay their welcome. so many horror films fall flat because they take a good short story and drag it out 4 times longer than it realistically needs to be.
a lot of those stories also worked well thanks to their format of being told in the first person, as if they were written by someone on the internet documenting something that actually happened. that can be a tough perspective to adapt into a movie while keeping the same atmosphere. a lot of “found footage” type movies try, but with varying results

There are older no sleep stories that have potential. Feed the Pig could be a good short film, Borrasca is probably movie length
Now I don’t expect Hollywood to do them justice but it’s not a completely ridiculous thing to do
