Dakota Johnson’s Most Off-the-Rails Interview Moments (5 of 5)

The 14-hour sleep misunderstanding

Only Johnson could take a topic as mundane as sleeping and turn it into a headline-generating story. In a 2023 Wall Street Journal interview, Dakota seemed to suggest that she slept 14 hours per night. This naturally raised more than a few eyebrows, but fortunately she was able to set the record straight during an appearance on The Tonight Show. Johnson explained that she didn’t say she literally gets 14 hours of sleep, only that she could easily sleep that long.

“I’m not a monster. I have a job,” she joked. She further stated that she didn’t need medication to aid her in her sleep, jokingly adding that taking Ambien would probably knock her out for a full year.
