In the ninth episode of Doctor Who's ninth season, titled "Sleep No More," the Doctor and Clara find themselves on a space station that's been quarantined due to a mysterious threat. Upon arriving, they discover that the station's crew has been attacked and the survivors are acting strangely. The only clue they have to what's going on is a video message left by the station's founder, Morpheus.

Morpheus is a revolutionary new method of sleep that allows people to cram an entire month's sleep into five minutes, leaving them feeling well-rested and revitalized. However, the process has some unintended side effects. When the Doctor and Clara discover that the survivors have merged into monstrous creatures made of eye boogers, they realize that something has gone terribly wrong with Morpheus.

The episode takes the form of found footage, with the events of the episode presented as if they were filmed on the station's security cameras and other recording devices. This gives the episode a somewhat disjointed feel, but it also adds to the sense of unease and uncertainty that permeates the station.

As the Doctor and Clara try to get to the bottom of what's happening on the station, they encounter a group of soldiers who are investigating the same thing. The soldiers' leader, Gagan Rasmussen, is a charismatic and enigmatic figure who seems to know more about the situation than he's letting on.

As the episode progresses, the Doctor and Clara find themselves in increasingly dire situations, as they're hunted by the monstrous creatures and forced to make some difficult choices in order to survive. The tension and horror build steadily throughout the episode, leading to a twist ending that's sure to leave viewers reeling.

Overall, "Sleep No More" is a tense and unsettling episode that explores some interesting ideas about sleep and the consequences of tampering with it. The found footage format is a bit gimmicky, but it works well for the story that's being told and adds to the overall sense of unease. While it's not one of the standout episodes of the season, it's still a solid entry in the Doctor Who canon and one that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
