Justin Bieber Suffers From Insomnia, Thinks Haters Are Waiting for Him to Fall

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 4th 2011 09:15AM

The glut of information that fills Justin Bieber's adorable noggin each day -- music, fashion, concert dates and, yep, screaming girls -- is keeping the 16-year-old pop star up at night. In the February issue of Vanity Fair, Bieber admits that he sometimes suffers from insomnia, an affliction he says is caused by a hectic life that doesn't afford time to think about "things that should be more important."

"I just turn over all night and think. My mind races," he says. "I think about all the things I didn't have time to think about during the day -- like family and God and things that should be more important but you don't have time to think about, because you just get caught up [in everything else] during the day."

One issue that looms large is the level of hatred directed his way from mostly male onlookers eager to see him fail. Bieber believes his "haters" are "waiting for that time when I make a mistake." If he does, he says, "they're gonna jump on it."

But Bieber tells the magazine that after watching so many young stars mire themselves in scandal (Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato, for example), he's convinced he'll weather the storm of his teen years relatively unscathed.

"I know I'm not going to make a life-changing bad decision, as some people have," he says. "I've seen it happen too many times. I could be my own worst enemy, but I don't want to mess this up."

On the topic of "haters," Bieber believes he'll convert some of them in a couple of years, possibly in a fashion similar to another Justin (Timberlake) when he came of age.

"For younger guys, it's like [they think] they're not cool if they come to my concert. That'll [change], I think; it'll happen, maybe when I'm 18," he thinks. "But meanwhile all their girlfriends are coming to watch me."

Attracting the opposite sex is not a problem for Bieber, but he also doesn't think it's entirely because he's famous. "Not trying to be arrogant, but if I walked down the street and a girl saw me, she might take a look back because maybe I'm good-looking, right?"

By Saftyblitz

YES...we are, actually. Because he is talentless..although he is a cute little boy. There are tons of people with talent, who never even get a shot.

By n

We should pray that this child doesn't fall into drugs and his life is not destroyed. As adults that's what we should do.

His mother needs to change his diaper give him a bottle and put him in his crib.Night night.

A teenager with insomnia is not a good thing. His health,anxiety, is already getting bad. He's headed downhill. His parents had better save him while they can.

By junior

His parents don't care, all they see are dollar signs.

By Starapple

Insomnia? The only thing keeping him awake is his worry that he will be outed soon.

By zester

the biever cant sing or act. he should go back to canada with mommy and daddy and start another career. Plze do it. i see no talent. that the way it is.

By teakin88

He's right, we are all waiting for him to fall. And then we'll throw a party.

By TORI

He's very feminine looking and looks all about 12,I don't see the hoopla. There's thousands like him wishing they were stars and they'll be thousands more after his star fades. He should just enjoy what he has while he can because it won't last!!!

By Mary Anne

The haters are jealous. You are awesome Justin! Try meditation for that insomnia. Repeat a word over and over on your mind. If you start stressing again, just go back to repeating the word in your mind. It will clear your thoughts and you will fall asleep. be good.

Just because someone is feminine and effeminate doesn't NECESSARILY mean he is gay.

By Satch

It's a dam good indicator.

By LinusPrincess

That's sad. People are so jealous and hateful, it's not right. Let him enjoy this and leave him be! I feel horrible!

By Cruz
