Justin Chambers has spoken out for the first time about his battle with exhaustion, since being admitted into the UCLA Medical Center in January.

He described the condition as “a biological sleep disorder.” The poor guy was only getting one hour of sleep each week.

He says, “Your body is tired but your mind keeps racing. You lie down and then you get up and pace, and then you lie down but you can’t fall asleep. It’s like a dog chasing its tail. You get to your wits’ end. I went a good two months without really sleeping. So a specialist I had been working with referred me to UCLA. They gave me (medication) in a private room with a connection to the outside, and I slept. Two days there was perfect.”
