‘No. I said I could easily sleep 14 hours. But I don’t like to demand it. I’m not a monster,” Dakota said, laughing.
Jimmy explained how other outlets picked up the story, including Page Six and USA Today, and how it started a whole discussion about the right amount of sleep.
‘Why is sleeping bad? Why? Leave me alone,” Dakota said, laughing. “I’m just sleeping.”
Jimmy agreed that 14 hours of sleep would be fantastic.
“I don’t have to bring anything to sleep like this, I can just sleep like this,” Dakota said.
“I think if I acted like an Ambien, I think I’d wake up next year,” she joked.
Dakota said WJ in December that sleep is her “number one priority” and that she also relies on meditation to manage anxiety.
She said, “I don’t have a set time to wake up. It depends on what’s happening in my life. If I don’t work, if I have a day off on Monday, I sleep as long as I can. Sleep is my first priority in life.’
