What should you watch to fall asleep? This! submitted by jaegerla on May 3, 2011, 1:32pm One night last week my husband and I were curled up on the couch under a blanket and there was nothing that was going to get us to move. But there was a problem! There was nothing to watch while falling asleep! In a moment of desperation we put on The Vampire's Assistant, and it was much better than we expected it to be. Yes, we did fall asleep halfway through it, but then we finished it the next day. One of the best parts was the animated lead-in to the movie. Another good part was the vampire/spider tap dancing. We laughed, we drowsed, and we fell asleep. This is highly recommended for people that want a quality movie to doze off to.
