Dakota Johnson’s 14 hours of sleep gets 50 shades of backlash — is it even healthy?
Dakota Johnson is all tied up — in controversy after bragging about the glorious amounts of sleep she constantly enjoys.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress, 34, recently boasted to the Wall Street Journal that she “easily” sleeps 14 hours a night and is “not functional” with less than 10 hours of shuteye.
“I don’t have a regular [wake-up] time. It depends on what’s happening in my life. If I’m not working, if I have a day off on a Monday, then I will sleep as long as I can,” she told WSJ.
“Sleep is my No. 1 priority in life,” Johnson added.
Social media users quickly became divided over the dormant diva’s declaration — with some going so far as to compare her to boujee Christian Grey of “Fifty Shades” fame. Johnson, who has no children, admitted to WSJ that she fancies hot yoga, pilates and a mid-day bath as well.
“Should we all sleep as much as Dakota Johnson? Only if you are rich! Anyone else can’t afford to do that. And yet, she throws out in the face of every person, except the rich,” a critic hissed on X.
“Dakota Johnson has no real life responsibilities,” argued someone else.
The Post reached out to Johnson reps for comment.
Some felt her comments about being in dire need of 10 hours of sleep were stringing up a symphony on the world’s smallest violin.
“Life’s tough. Suck it up buttercup!” an X user exclaimed.
“Another day that I cannot prioritize my sleep and get all mondays off like Dakota Johnson,” griped one more.
Others, meanwhile, expressed sheer envy of her nocturnal protocol.
“I want the amount of beauty sleep Dakota Johnson gets,” one user gushed on X.
“Dakota johnson is so real for wanting to sleep 14 hours, like girl me too,” empathized another.
“Dakota Johnson said sleep is #1 so I slept till 12 today,” a third chimed in.
The Mayo Clinic states that healthy adults should seek seven hours of slumber a night.
Sleeping more than nine hours in a 24-hour period is called oversleeping, which the Sleep Foundation says can worsen inflammation in the body; lower immune function; and spur chronic diseases.
The organization recommends setting a regular sleep schedule; creating a bedtime routine; staying active; and eschewing late naps to avoid oversleeping.
