15 Celebrities Who Have Sleeping Disorders
James Mercer
Rocker James Mercer suffers from insomnia and sometimes it kicks in at the most inopportune times. But the sleep disorder did come in handy when Mercer was working on an album. In 2007, right before the release of “Wincing The Night Away,” the Shins frontman spoke with MTV News about his bout with insomnia. “It’s something I wrestle with once in a while if I’ve got a stressful situation or something to deal with,” Mercer said, adding that the “nocturnal vibe” of the album was inspired by not being able to sleep and wandering through is neighborhood at night.
