Actor Park Seo Joon Opens Up About Struggles with Sleep

Sleep is one of the most crucial aspects of maintaining our health and well-being. It's essential for our physical and mental health, yet many people struggle to get a good night's sleep.

Recently, actor Park Seo Joon revealed his struggles with unstable sleep during a conversation with his co-stars IU, Jung Seung Gil, and Heo Joon Seok on IU's official YouTube channel.

In the video, IU mentioned that all of the actors had worked on projects with the word "Dream" in them, and she was surprised by the coincidence.

The conversation then naturally shifted to the topic of lucid dreaming. Jung Seung Gil explained that lucid dreaming means being aware that you are dreaming and that he had experienced it once or twice.

Park Seo Joon then surprised everyone by confessing, "I press the scissors more than I dream and turn on the light."

IU was shocked to learn about Park Seo Joon's struggle with sleep and asked, "Really? Every night?" To which he replied, "I have to have a bright light. I can't sleep deeply. If I feel like the scissors are like a lucid dream, it's already here."

Park Seo Joon further explained that he first experienced the sensation of being pressed by scissors and seeing ghosts during his third year of high school.

IU gave him some advice, saying, "The sensation of being pressed by scissors is a hallucination that occurs in the brain, so if you have anxiety about being pressed by scissors, it happens because of that. I heard that if you think about good things at that time, you can control it."

It's not uncommon for people to have trouble sleeping. According to the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 30% of adults in the United States experience short-term insomnia, while 10% have chronic insomnia.

Insomnia can be caused by various factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, and medical conditions such as sleep apnea.

Park Seo Joon's struggles with sleep highlight the importance of getting a good night's rest. Lack of sleep can lead to several health problems, including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. It can also affect our mood and cognitive abilities.

Netizens' Comments:

"I can relate to Park Seo Joon's struggles with sleep. I also need a bright light to sleep well."

"I feel bad for Park Seo Joon. It must be tough for him to deal with the sensation of being pressed by scissors."

"It's interesting to learn about lucid dreaming. I didn't know it was a thing."

"IU is such a good friend for giving Park Seo-joon some advice on how to deal with his sleep issues."

"I hope Park Seo Joon can get the help he needs to overcome his sleep problems. It's important to take care of our mental health."
