Yungblud gets both "stressed out" and "weirdly excited" and both impact his sleep.
Yungblud hasn't slept properly for "eight years".
The 'Fleabag' hitmaker, 26, gets overexcited and has bountiful energy levels due to his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and he has revealed it also impacts his sleep and he has particularly struggled with getting enough shut eye ever since he was kept awake by a stranger's breathing when he crashed at their house back in 2016.
He told Jamie Laing's new podcast 'Great Company': "[I'm a] complete insomniac. Fully. Like terrible at it. Terrible at sleeping honestly. I actually get a bit stressed out. It gets to 10pm, sat watching the telly and I’m like oh s***, I gotta go to bed soon. And I get in bed and it all starts going. Overthinking, sometimes I’m just anxious I don’t know why, but then sometimes I’m just stressed about something or sometimes I’m just weirdly excited."
YUNGBLUD – whose real name is Dominic Harrison - continued: "You know at Christmas I was the worst Christmas sleeper. I’m going to hear my dad put down the stocking in a minute or whatever. But I remember the first time I didn’t really sleep, I was in Brighton, we were playing a festival called The Great Escape Festival and apparently when you’re in a band, me and my drummer and my guitar player, we literally just lived in a squat in South London and we were like people might see us here tomorrow so we’ve really got to nail it. Weirdly we randomly stayed at this dude’s house and me and the guitar player was sleeping on the sofa and every time he breathes, he would do every three minutes and it kept me up all night and I’ve not slept since Brighton. Honestly, I’ve not slept since Brighton so every time I go back to Brighton, I’m like you mother******, I hate this place. That was probably in 2016."
The ’Funeral’ rocker – who has just announced his first-ever inclusive music festival, BLUDFEST - then quipped: "That’s why I wear eyeliner because if I take it off you actually see the weather, crambazzled as f***."
