Critics Consensus

Doctor Who's effective horror elements and unexpected cliffhanger save "Sleep No More" from being a gimmicky found-footage episode.

As a technical exercise and an expansion of Doctor Who's boundaries, "Sleep No More" is moderately engaging, but as a satisfying adventure in its own right it can only be described as a snoozer.

There is a series of brilliant misdirections at the center of this episode, and the Doctor-usually a master of misdirection himself-doesn't quite seem to see them. "Sleep No More" wants us to think it's about sleep, but... it's about the unconscious.

Gagan Rassmussen: "You must not watch this! I'm warning you. You can never unsee it." Rassmussen could easily have been speaking about "Sleep No More" itself with that very first line of the episode.

[The] episode falls down on delivering the shivers it promises, which makes its uniqueness less exciting than it should be.

It's no fun reading someone struggling to find new and interesting ways to write "IT SUCKED" over and over again. Yeah, we thought it was that bad.

It's sort of a clever experiment, though I'm not sure it entirely gels, and it's probably saved by a fairly creepy twist ending.
