BTS' Namjoon opens up about his insomnia struggles during a recent Weverse livestream

Back in June 2025, following BTS' Namjoon's discharge from the military, the idol talked about his sleep schedule and his growing insomnia due to his service. The idol explained that he had days when he went over 78 hours without sleep, which led to him worrying about his physical and mental health.

He also added that he ended up pressurising himself a lot about why he cannot sleep and was afraid that the lack of sleep was affecting his performance in the military. However, Namjoon also followed it up by stating that he started to get professional help during his enlistment, and has been taking the recommended prescription for one year and two months.

While many fans were concerned about the idol's struggles, they were happy about him seeking professional help regarding the same. However, on October 5, during RM's latest Weverse livestream, he expressed that he has been facing issues with sleeping again, and the anxiety about falling asleep specifically gets worse around 2 AM in the night. Here's what he stated:

"These days, it takes about 2 hours to sleep. It's getting hard again. I'm always a bit nervous around 2 o'clock. I thought I should go to bed. Usually, no matter how late you go to bed, at midnight or 1 o'clock, you go to bed in here. Of course, my lifestyle is a bit...I have the lifestyle of an owl."

The idol continued,

"But I think the pattern is different. I try to wake up at least at 11 o'clock. But because of that, it kept me awake thinking that I should go to sleep. Now, I'm going to sleep...Looking at it, it's a bit...This is back to the inside...I feel like I'm trapped in the Papago. Let's talk again. I think I need to find a way again. "

Therefore, fans and netizens have been continuously engaging in the ongoing campaign for BTS' RM in relation to his insomnia struggles, "Sweet Dreams Namjoon".
