This is a funny cartoon featuring Donald Duck who has to get up early in the morning. However, he has everything against his as he attempts to get his slumber.
It is entertaining seeing Donald go through a host of misadventures of him trying to get his much-needed sleep, like his loudly ticking alarm clock and his folding bed that flips on top of him. Adding to the gags is Donald swallowing his clock to quiet it down, only to see its dial shine through his feathers.
It's classic Donald with his fiery temper and iconic personality - entertaining from start to finish. It's Donald at one of his best!

Plot summary
Donald has to get up early, but everything seems to be working to keep him awake. His loudly ticking alarm clock resists several attempts to quiet it. Donald ultimately swallows it; the glow-in-the-dark dial can be seen through his feathers. Then his folding bed folds up on him. Springs start popping out of it; Donald builds an elaborate framework to hold it down. Finally, enough of the clock reassembles itself to sound the alarm and night is over.

Donald at one of his best!
Nighty night
Donald is planning an early night in an effort to get up early the next day. But first he cannot get comfortable in his bed and then the ticking of the alarm clock gets on his nerves and he just can't sleep. The annoyances escalate and eventually Donald goes completely berserk.
I admit I did laugh a few times at the start of this cartoon but it's a total one-joke affair. It became pretty unfunny rather quickly and my attention started drifting after his bed acted up for about the 86th time. Nah, there were some moments of good humor but overall I wasn't too impressed with this cartoon at all, despite the amusing beginning.
And why is Donald living in a different house every time we see him?
Best Donald Duck cartoon!
One of the best shorts at Disney. Highly recommend.
