Biological Sleep Disorder Haunts Grey’s Anatomy Star

Being in the showbiz industry can take its toll on you and such is the problem that Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers confessed. Apparently, this was the result of his battle with exhaustion, something that he described as a biological sleep disorder.
It is safe to say that a lot of us suffer from the same problem even though we are not aware of it. In our minds, we feel we can go the distance without sleep. As they say, you can sleep a lot when you grow old. But while you are in the prime of your life make the most of it.
But the matter of health is also a matter to be considered. Remember that we are not robots. We are humans and our internal organs need sufficient rest in the form of sleep to be able to withstand the various rigors of a competitive life.
Chambers tells People magazine, “I suffer from a biological sleep disorder. 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.
“It’s like a dog chasing its tail. You get to your wits’ end. I went a good two months without really sleeping.
“So a specialist I had been working with referred me to UCLA. They gave me (medication) in a private room with a connection to the outside, and I slept. Two days there was perfect.”
