Justin Chambers talks about sleeping disorder...
He's not Dr. McSleepy that's for sure.
"Grey's Anatomy" star Justin Chambers had the misfortune of checking into the UCLA psychiatric unit the same week as Britney Spears awhile back and as a result, was the suibject of all kinds of speculation about the father of five's mental state.
“I suffer from a biological sleep disorder," he told PEOPLE this week. "Your body is tired but your mind keeps racing. You lie down and then you get up and pace, and then you lie down but you can’t fall asleep…I went a good two months without really sleeping.”
Justin said the problem has only gotten worse now that he's in his 30s: “I remember being young and not sleeping at times, but it really hit in my late 20s…I attribute it somewhat to being an actor. I’m a sponge; I process everything around me. Some roles require you to dig deep, and, you know, be careful what you find…Some roles linger. My [serial killer] character in [2006’s] The Zodiac took a while to shake off.”
I hipe Justin is getting plenty of zzzzzz's now...he deserves it with all those kids!
