Any time I'm in a moving thing, like an airplane, I'm usually asleep before we even get on our way.

I'm really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I'm out; I'm asleep for takeoff.

Making sleep happen is a must - anytime, anywhere, from a plane to a train to an automobile. Ideally, I like to get eight to ten hours a night, though I'll take it broken up in two segments if I have to.

I'm lucky, I can sleep from takeoff until we land; so I'm fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival.

If we're on long-haul flights I've been known to sleep on the floor so I hear the engine.

I sleep 75 percent of all plane trips I take. I love red-eyes from West to East. I take Ambien to make sure I sleep. I always stay on West Coast time, and I'm always so fried when I come back, I usually sleep naturally.

Aeroplane journeys give me quiet time to read and sleep; it's like being unplugged from the earth.

It's not unusual for me to wake up in the middle of the night and not know where I am. I take sleep medication to deal with all the flights. But I find it helps to eat at the same time every day.

The only time I can't sleep is on a plane, when I am literally keeping it in the air with my brain.

I record all night and sleep all day. It started because you're excited about the music and you want to stay up longer, but over 15 years, it's become a habit. In my circle, I think a lot of musicians operate like this. When the place is quiet, you're more creative. I have plenty of people I can call at 4 A.M. and know they'll be up.
