About Sleepy Dan
The Sleepy Dan brand utilizes pop culture to uncover and unify those who share a love of sleep and the possibilities that unfold when you dream big. The designs focus this concept to printed apparel, including themed collections such as childhood nighttime fears and those which call us to action. The brand insignia is an alarm clock surrounded by lightning bolts, to symbolize the energy of the alarm ringing to wake up. The brand message “You Snooze, You Lose!” gives the clear understanding that too much sleep will inhibit progress. Sleepy Dan helps everyone voice their feelings of what they would rather be doing. All of us have goals we are working towards that are more important than rest. Sometimes we just need a wake up call to get where we should be.
