Sleep like a star: Curious celebrity bedtime habits

Getting good sleep is essential, but everyone has their own bedtime rituals, and celebrities are no exception. Here are some of the most curious nighttime routines of famous personalities.

• Lady Gaga: She requests rooms decorated in black and silver satin, fresh roses, and posters of her idols. Even when traveling with her partner, she always sleeps alone in a separate suite. She also demands 24-hour kitchen service to satisfy any craving at any time.

• Michael Phelps: To boost his performance, he used to sleep in a chamber that simulated an altitude of over 2,500 meters to help his body produce more red blood cells.

• Albert Einstein: The physics genius needed at least 10 hours of sleep a day to stay focused on his work.

• Sigmund Freud: He slept very little. Some say his experiments contributed to his lack of rest, though he remained an expert in dream interpretation.

• Stephen King: He follows the same routine every night: brushing his teeth, washing his hands, and arranging his pillows in a very specific way.

• Jennifer Lopez: She’s very particular about her rest—she brings her silk bedding, insists on sheets with at least a 250-thread count, gold-plated fixtures, and all-white decor in her hotel room.

• Mariah Carey: She sleeps around 15 hours a day. For her, rest is almost sacred.

These interesting habits remind us that even when it comes to sleep, celebrities create environments tailored to their routines, preferences, and quirks. Do you have any bedtime rituals of your own?
