5. George Clooney
Clooney revealed his sleep struggles a 2012 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Although he’s usually in bed by 10 p.m., Clooney reported that a racing mind keeps him awake at night. Unfortunately, Clooney’s solution is to sleep with the TV on — but this is one of the worst ways to deal with insomnia because falling asleep in front of the TV usually disrupts sleep. The Oscar-winning actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he has trouble falling asleep without the TV on. “I’m able to numb out,” he said about the blue glow. While many claim falling asleep to the TV helps them nod off, it can actually disrupt the sleep cycle. Your brain will still listen in on subtle changes in volume, even if you’re asleep, Phillip Gehrman, Ph.D., CBSM, clinical director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Pennsylvania told The Huffington Post. That could account for Clooney’s trouble staying asleep. “Without question, I wake every night five times,” he said.
