James Franco Is Insomniac

The 'Pineapple Express' star - who shot to fame playing James Dean in a TV biopic in 2001 - hates going to bed because there are so many things he wants to do with his time.He said: "I don't sleep. I have a lot of interests and a lot I want to get done so I have gotten into the habit of not getting into my bed.

"I sit on the couch with my laptop until I fall asleep. I have the computer in a protective case because it often ends up falling to the floor."James - who is currently studying graduate-level writing and filmmaking programmes at both Columbia University and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts - also revealed why he decided to go back to school.The 31-year-old actor added: "There has always been a part of me that felt I was letting something go when I left school at 18 or 19 to become an actor."
