Simon Cowell’s intense work load has turned the American Idol judge into an insomniac who uses sleeping pills to catch some shut-eye.
Cowell says he is so consumed by his workload, he is often up until the early hours of the morning working on projects.
Simon recently told his Britain’s Got Talent co-star Piers Morgan that he suffers from a sleeping problem and obsesses over not getting enough rest.
“I am totally and utterly consumed by my work, to the point almost of an obsession. Almost every night I will be working until four or five in the morning. My life is controlled by that, Cowell revealed.
“I sleep very late, because the time I think is best is two or three in the morning. I take sleeping pills almost every night because I freak out at the thought that I can’t sleep. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me.”
Perhaps his new-found happiness with fiance Mezhgan Hussainy will help Simon slow down and spend more time in bed.
