Chris Martin on his sleeping problems

Chris Martin has revealed he has problems getting to sleep - then staying awake.

The Coldplay frontman told Rolling Stone magazine recently: “My problem is that I often take a sleeping pill in order to go to sleep, but then I get excited about a song idea, so I go and play music, and then [the pill] kind of kicks in halfway through.

“I have a little corner where nobody can hear me in the middle of the night, and that’s where I spend most of the nighttimes.

“I wake up the next morning and find these strange notes to myself … I’m a little bit ashamed about it.”
