I found this tooling around "on demand". I didn't know the actors were married until I saw it in the credits. And I want to give kudos for this being an original idea. Lizzy is a uber organized (aren't they all) event planner who is about to be married to a surgeon on new years eve. So she also has that wedding to plan. Right after thanksgiving she comes up with a horrible problem... total insomnia. As anyone who has that knows, you will do anything to solve it. One night while driving around at 3 AM to cure her insomnia... she hits a man jogging at 3 am, Billy. Billy has had insomnia his whole life. Billy is ok but she insists on taking him to the hospital. In the car, just before they go in, they stop to listen to a favorite song and both are awakened at 1:30 PM by paramedics who think they are unconscious in the car. That was funny. But the point was... they both slept, they both had a great nights sleep.
Alas, not to be. Both Billy and Lizzy return to their insomnia. Lizzy eventually grows so desperate she goes to his workplace and offers him money to "sleep" just sleep with her. Her theory is that after a while she will grow used to sleeping without him. In exchange she will loan him money to get his bar off the ground in exchange for 10% of the profits.
Billy would be a fool not to do this so he agrees. At first they sleep in the car but eventually they rent out a hotel room and basically use pillows for separation. Lizzy doesn't tell her fiancee because he is a doctor and works nights.
There were three logical problems in this move. (1) no mention of sleeping pills -- which would seem to be an easier way before turning to sleeping with a stranger; (2) falling in love with someone you just slept with. How could you get to know them, for the majority of time you are with them, you are asleep? and (3) though they go to a sleep clinic, no real insight on why these two can only sleep with each other.
But the lead characters are winning and they make the best of the plot device.
