Olivia Rodrigo’s 13-Hour Snoozefest: Touring So Hard, She Needs Teen-Level Naps
The young pop star confesses to sleeping away nearly half the day due to tour exhaustion, all while indulging in comfort TV.
Sane Perspective
Living the Dream—Literally, for 13 Hours at a Time
Olivia Rodrigo's confession of needing 13 hours of sleep daily while on tour sounds like a case of "hard life, first-world problems." Touring may be exhausting, but imagine telling your grandpa, who worked 12-hour shifts on his feet, that you’re beat from belting out tunes for a couple of hours. She manages to squeeze in some serious Netflix time and the occasional piano session, all while lounging in luxury. It's a glamorous kind of tired, complete with designer PJs and a plush bed—because nothing says "hard work" like catching up on Sex and the City reruns. But hey, if sleeping half the day is what it takes to churn out another album, more power to her. Just don't be surprised if real-world folks have a hard time sympathizing.
Woke Perspective
When sleep is self-care, not self-indulgence
Olivia Rodrigo's admission that she sometimes sleeps for 13 hours a day highlights the immense pressures placed on young women in the entertainment industry. The capitalist machine that exploits wimmin's labor, particularly in creative industries, takes a severe toll on mental and physical health. Rodrigo’s story is a reminder of the need for systemic change to protect artists from burnout, prioritizing equity and self-care in all professions, especially those dominated by young, diverse talent.
