15 Celebrities Who Have Sleeping Disorders
Heath Ledger
Heath Ledger was the type of actor to fully immerse himself in his craft. His last two roles were very dark and brooding characters and Ledger, who suffered from insomnia, had even more of an issue sleeping at night. During the filming of “The Dark Knight,” the Australian born star regularly medicated himself to sleep. In January of 2008, the “Brokeback Mountain” star was found dead in his Manhattan apartment. The official cause of death was a drug overdose from an abuse of prescription medication including pills to treat insomnia, anxiety and pain.
