* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Played with. The narrator breaks into the story to remind you that "you're on my side", then candidly admits to cheating on his girlfriend in a way that makes it clear he isn't proud of it.

* CursedWithAwesome: Sleepwalking and a shaky relationship with his girlfriend are clearly bad things for Matt, but they become the material that fuels the success of his standup career. At first it's funny, but by the end of the film, it's clear that the sleepwalking is indeed a curse.

* MuseAbuse: In-story, Matt bases his successful stand-up routine on saying things about his girlfriend and their impending marriage that he would certainly not want her to hear. Questionable in real life, since it's mentioned that he's at least discussed the things in the movie with the real life Amy, who we can only assume was okay with it.
* {{Sleepwalking}}: Of course. Portrayed realistically, since Mike Birbiglia has this problem in real life.
