Chris Martin has therapy because he can`t sleep
The Coldplay frontman - who has two, children Apple, seven, and five-year-old Moses with wife Gwyneth Paltrow - sought professional help in order to cut down on the restless nights he frequently experiences.
Asked if it is true he sees a therapist once every time he releases an album, he said: "No, bit more than that. I have a lot of trouble sleeping. It`s to do with that and what to take and not to take."
When he does get some sleep, Chris is plagued by nightmares, usually connected with the group`s performances.
He explained: "I`ll give you a classic dream I had last night. We were playing on Letterman and I was in a different key to everyone else. David Letterman came on and said, `Can you stop? This is not very good. Can you do the other song?` And then, we start doing the other one and my shoe falls off.
"It goes a bit surreal after that but it always starts with playing a concert and there`s some insurmountable problem. I have many more nightmares than dreams; probably nine to one. Real life is much better."
A song once came to Chris in a dream, which he showed to David Bowie - but the legendary singer told him it wasn`t very good.
Chris recalled: "He said, `I`m really sorry, but it`s not your best.` He was very kind about it. I was like, `You know what? You`re probably right`. It might have been written by sleeping pills so I wasn`t too personally offended."
