[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mattgbumps.png]]
-> '''Portrayed By:''' Tyler Kyte ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])
The protagonist of ''Don't Go to Sleep!'' He's tired of being bullied by his older siblings and getting the worst of everything, including his tiny room in the attic, so he decides to move into the guest room against his mother's consent. This leads to him waking up as someone else each time he falls asleep.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Has light blond hair in the book, has darker hair in the episode.
* AnimalsHateHim: Even the family dog, Biggie, who likes absolutely ''everyone else'', despises Matt passionately and even attacks him when Matt does ''NOTHING'' to him.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Something he resents, since his mother expects him to look up to his younger siblings since they're in charge of taking care of him when she's busy, when in reality they try their hardest to make him miserable.
* BalefulPolymorph: In two of his realities, he wakes up as a huge green monster and as a squirrel.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Twice. He wishes he wasn't the youngest so he had more stuff to do, only to wake up as the oldest child and realize it's not much better. He also tries to convince his mother to let him sleep in the guest room, and she does... [[spoiler: at the end of the book, after he learns what happens when you fall asleep in it.]]
* ButtMonkey: He hates getting the worst of everything in his life due to how his siblings and mother treat him.
* CassandraTruth: When he tries to explain to his teacher that he was twelve yesterday and woke up as a sixteen-year-old.
* CircusBrat: In one of his realities, he's the member of a circus family and the star of the show.
* DisappearedDad: His father died when he was a baby.
* HeavySleeper: His sister claims that he could "sleep through a hurricane." He uses this to his advantage when wanting to transform to get out of a cell.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction when [[spoiler: he realizes that her mother has now made the dreaded guest bedroom into his new room. His mother asks him what he thinks, and he responds by screaming his head off.]]
* OvernightAgeUp: The first time he goes to sleep, he wakes up as a sixteen-year-old when he used to be twelve.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: At the end of the book, where he learns to appreciate the life he has after all the alternate realities he was forced through.
* TheUnfavourite: His mother takes Greg and Pam's side whenever they torment him, [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter believing they're wonderful siblings who take good care of him]].
* UngratefulBastard: You'd think he'd be much happier with a mother who actually treats him better than his actual mother, a father in his life, and a cat who doesn't hate him during his second reality warp, not to mention no siblings to pick on him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By falling asleep in the guest room, he inadvertently changes the laws of reality each time he wakes up. This is why the Reality Police decide they have to put him to sleep forever.

-> '''Portrayed By:''' Amanda Zamprogna and Kyle Welton ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])
Matt's older brother and sister.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While not really considered "nice", Greg and Pam are nowhere near as much of ruthless bullies towards Matt in the TV adaptation as they were in the novel.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In the reality where Matt is sixteen and they're younger, they pester him just as much as when the roles were reversed.
* BigBrotherBully: They constantly gang up on Matt and tease him for being a geek.
* CircusBrat: Along with Matt, they're members of the circus family in one of the alternate realities.
* PromotionToParent: With their father dead and their single mother working two jobs, they have to look after Matt while their mother is busy, though they do a horrible job of it.
* TeensAreMonsters: They make sure that Matt lives as miserably as possible and torment him in cruel ways, such as putting the family dog on his bed prepared to bite him while he's asleep.
!! Lacie
A girl who keeps appearing in the various alternate realities Matt goes to, she turns out to be part of the "Reality Police".
----
* AdaptedOut: She's not present in the TV episode.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The Reality Police in the TV episode (which, as mentioned, don't include Lacie) are a lot more sinister and evil seeming. In the book they are [[RabidCop rabid cops]] at worst, whereas in the show they are more like Orwellian KnightTemplar types.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pretends to befriend Matt, but secretly is working with the two thugs who keep showing up (and who are also Reality Police Officers).
* GoodCopBadCop: The good cop to her colleagues' bad cop - friendly, gentle and calm.
* InspectorJavert: She's not really evil, she just wants to stop Matt from irrevocably damaging the time-space continuum due to him switching universes every time he sleeps. She doesn't even really want to hurt him, just to put him into some sort of permanent sleep/coma.
* PunchClockVillain: Both she and the two punks are just doing their jobs to keep reality intact.
* RabidCop: She and the other two want to put Matt to sleep permanently, to stop him from ruining reality. Oddly at the end [[spoiler: Matt just goes to sleep in his normal bed and the dimension switching stops]] but they never think of just having him try that.
