#10 Bizarre sleeping habit

Maybe Rooney’s sleeping habits are the reason he looks so tired on the pitch

People often have trouble falling asleep and take all sorts of prescription drugs to solve that problem. However, Wayne Rooney has a different solution altogether. The football superstar sleeps to the sound of his vacuum cleaner switched on. Rooney apparently suffers from OCD which drives him to carry out this unusual task.

This was revealed in his autobiography where he added that in situations where he cannot get a vacuum cleaner, he turns to his wife’s blow dryers instead.

"I've ruined so many hairdryers by letting them burn out. Coleen hates it. She won't let me turn on a vacuum cleaner or a fan, not when we're together."
