According to Corina, she portrays a "fresh, rebellious, slightly eccentric, sexy and delicate-incisive" female punk burlesque character in the music video. The visual begins with the singer kissing a disco ball in form of a human head in a room with fellow people involved in similar activities. After one of them plays a phonograph record, the song starts and Corina is shown dancing accompanied by male background dancers. Following this, she descends to a club from its ceiling wrapped in a white cloth. After a cameo appearance from JJ, the video continues in a similar way and ends with a reel-to-reel audio tape recording running a reel. Scenes interspersed during the clip's main plot include Corina dancing in front of red numbers, poledancing and lying on the ground while water drops on her. The visual was nominated for Best Video at the 2011 Romanian Music Awards,{{cite web| url = http://www.urban.ro/muzica/romanian-music-awards-2011---nominalizarile/| title =Nominalizarile Romanian Music Awards 2011| access-date = 7 February 2016|publisher=Urban.ro|language=Romanian|date=1 August 2011|trans-title=Nominations at the Romanian Music Awards 2011|archive-date=18 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118085527/http://www.urban.ro/muzica/romanian-music-awards-2011---nominalizarile/|author=Scris de Edi}} where Corina performed "No Sleepin{{'"}} live.{{cite news|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-FTp2IF9Rw|title=Music Channel – Corina – No Sleepin' & Funky Monkey (Performed @ RMA 2011)|publisher=YouTube|date=20 September 2011|access-date=13 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-FTp2IF9Rw|archive-date=13 March 2018}}

German girl group LaViVe was formed on the ninth installment of the German adaption of the international television talent show Popstars in 2010. The group consists of Meike Ehnert, Sarah Rensing, Julia Köster and Katrin Mehlberg.{{cite news|url=https://www.bz-berlin.de/artikel-archiv/popstars-katrin-macht-lavive-komplett|title=Popstars: Katrin macht LaViVe komplett|trans-title=Popstars: Katrin makes LaViVe complete|language=German|date=9 December 2010|publisher=B.Z.|access-date=13 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.bz-berlin.de/artikel-archiv/popstars-katrin-macht-lavive-komplett|archive-date=13 March 2018}} LaViVe recorded a cover of "No Sleepin{{'"}} after a demo version of the song was handed to their management by a Romanian producing team.{{cite news|url=https://www.promiflash.de/news/2010/12/11/lavive-song-klingt-das-original-besser.html|title=LaViVe-Song: Klingt das Original besser?|trans-title=LaViVe song: Does the original sound better?|publisher=Promiflash|date=11 December 2010|language=German|access-date=14 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.promiflash.de/news/2010/12/11/lavive-song-klingt-das-original-besser.html|archive-date=13 March 2018}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/topics/gibt-es-schon-von-rumaenischer-saengerin-corina-15012838.bild.html|title="LaViVe"-Song: Ist "No Time for Sleeping" geklaut?|trans-title="La ViVe" song: Is "No Time for Sleeping" stolen?|language=German|date=13 December 2010|access-date=14 March 2018|newspaper=Bild|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/topics/gibt-es-schon-von-rumaenischer-saengerin-corina-15012838.bild.html|archive-date=13 March 2018}} Their rendition, titled "No Time for Sleeping", was released on a CD single in Germany on 10 December 2010 by Starwatch Music, as licensed by Corina's label. The CD single additionally contains versions of the song recorded by three fellow eliminated contestants on that year's Popstars.

"No Time for Sleeping" received mixed reviews from music critics upon its release. German singer {{ill|Thomas M. Stein|de}} praised the commercial appeal of the song. An editor of German website Promicabana applauded the song and its rap part, although foreseeing the commercial failure of the track.{{cite news|url=https://www.promicabana.de/popstars-finale-2010-katrin-lavive/|title=Popstars Finale 2010: Katrin komplettiert "LaVive"!|trans-title=Popstars Final 2010: Katrin completes "LaViVe"!|language=German|date=9 December 2010|access-date=14 March 2018|publisher=Promicabana|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150104123714/http://www.promicabana.de/popstars-finale-2010-katrin-lavive/|archive-date=4 January 2015}} Similarly, B.Z. criticized "No Time for Sleeping" as repetitive and denied its success.

Commercially, the song — aided by a tour in German-speaking Europe{{cite news|url=https://www.promiflash.de/news/2011/01/10/lavive-meike-lebt-endlich-ihren-traum.html|title=LaVive: Meike lebt endlich ihren Traum|trans-title=LaVive: Meike finally lives her dream|date=10 January 2011|language=German|publisher=Promiflash|access-date=14 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.promiflash.de/news/2011/01/10/lavive-meike-lebt-endlich-ihren-traum.html|archive-date=13 March 2018}} — fared moderately. In Germany, the song entered and peaked at number 13 on the Official German Charts, lasting for eight weeks. Digitally, it was the 14th most-downloaded song in the nation in the week ending 22 December 2010. "No Time for Sleeping" further peaked at numbers 12 and 28 in Austria and Switzerland, remaining for five and one weeks, respectively.

An accompanying music video for "No Time for Sleeping" premiered during the night of 9 December 2010, with a snippet shown earlier that day during the Popstars finale to choose the final member for LaViVe.{{cite news|url=https://www.promicabana.de/lavive-no-time-for-sleeping-musikvideo/|title=LaVive – "No Time For Sleeping" Musikvideo!|language=German|date=10 December 2010|access-date=14 March 2018|publisher=Promicabana|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150105072006/http://www.promicabana.de/lavive-no-time-for-sleeping-musikvideo/|archive-date=5 January 2015}} During the visual, the group is shown dancing in front of a wall that constantly changes its colors or residing in a club.{{cite news|url=https://www.promiflash.de/news/2010/12/10/seht-selbst-das-erste-musik-video-von-lavive.html|title=Seht selbst: Das erste Musik-Video von LaViVe|trans-title=Watch it yourself: The first music video of LaViVe|date=10 December 2010|language=German|publisher=Promiflash|access-date=13 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.promiflash.de/news/2010/12/10/seht-selbst-das-erste-musik-video-von-lavive.html|archive-date=13 March 2018}} It was received with mixed reviews from music critics. An editor of {{ill|Promiflash|de}} praised the visual's playful vibe and pointed out the members' professionality. Conversely, a writer on website Promicabana criticized the video as "trash" and unspectacular, further noting the members' peculiar dance movements. In late December 2010, an alternative version of the clip featuring eliminated Popstars candidate Esra Ünvers as part of LaVive was leaked onto the internet, prompting observers to question the show's credibility.{{cite news|url=https://www.promiflash.de/news/2010/12/31/lavive-maulwurf-bei-popstars.html|title=LaViVe: Maulwurf bei Popstars|trans-title=LaViVe: Mole at Popstars|language=German|publisher=Promiflash|date=31 December 2018|access-date=14 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313235436/https://www.promiflash.de/news/2010/12/31/lavive-maulwurf-bei-popstars.html|archive-date=13 March 2018}}
