This was followed in 1936 by "How to be a Detective". The early success of "How to Sleep" prompted MGM to rush two more short films featuring Benchley, "How to Train a Dog," a spoof of dog-training techniques, and "How to Behave," which lampooned etiquette norms. "How to Sleep" was named Best Short Subject at the 1935 Academy Awards, while the latter two shorts were not as well received.
