We’ve all been there; those nights when you can’t Fall Asleep, no matter what you do. Insomnia is a common problem for many people, and it’s not surprising. We live in a fast-paced society where we don’t always follow a healthy diet or get enough exercise.

Add in the fact that most of us spend evenings watching TV or are glued to the phones, and normal Sleep patterns are bound to go out the window. Anyway, back to the point – we’ve all had an odd sleepless night.

For some people, though, this is a problem that repeats night after night. If you fall into this group, you probably collapse some nights exhausted and still battle to fall asleep. You’ve probably also tried every home remedy out there to get a decent night’s sleep.

You’re not alone. Apparently, it’s not just your average person that can have trouble sleeping. Some of the most famous people in the history report the same trouble. Some of the home remedies they’ve tried, however, are a little weird to put it nicely.

We’ve got a cornucopia of facts about the sleeping habits of celebs in the infographic that you’ll see below, but for now, let’s just focus on the famous insomniacs.

Vincent Van Gogh, for example, battled to sleep. As a remedy, he poured camphor on bed and pillow. This was fine once or twice, but became quite toxic with repeated exposure. It’s believed that this was part of the reason that he eventually committed suicide.

Tallulah Bankhead, an actress, went as far as hiring someone to hold her hand while she was sleeping.

Comedian W.C. Fields was said to have only been able to fall asleep to the sound of rain. He eventually rigged up an umbrella and sprinkler to emulate the sound. (They didn’t have iTunes back then.)
