Sleepless (Arabic: لا أنام, translit. La Anam) is a 1957 Egyptian melodrama film. The film follows the intricate story of Nadia Lutfi, a daughter of divorced parents who suffers from Electra complex, which drives her to intervene in her father's relationships.
Directed by the Egyptian film director Salah Abu Seif, this film is based on a novel with the same name written by the Egyptian novelist Ihsan Abdel Quddous. The film, which is currently ranked the 29th best Egyptian film by the cinema committee of the Supreme Council of Culture in Cairo, starred Faten Hamama, Yehia Chahine, Mariam Fakhr Eddine, Omar Sharif, Emad Hamdy, Hind Rostom and Rushdy Abaza.
