Don't Sleep is the second studio album by Australian electronic musician and producer Alice Ivy, released on 17 July 2020 by Dew Process. The album peaked at number 77 on the ARIA Charts.

In a statement, Ivy said "It's a body of work that features an abundance of voices that need to be heard and are generally not heard from enough. Some of those voices belong to women, some are non-binary, some are people of colour and some identify as First Nations people, some are members of the LGBTQI+ community and all of them have important stories to tell."[2]

At the 2020 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Dance Release and Ivy was nominated for Engineer of the Year[3][4]

The album was nominated for the 2020 Australian Music Prize[5][6] and Australian Album of the Year at the J Awards of 2020.[7] At the 2021 Music Victoria Awards, the album was nominated for Best Victorian Album.[8]
