Excited to do death-defying stunts, even at the age of 61, Tom Cruise is made different from the rest of the world. Forty years in the entertainment industry, the ‘Risky Business’ actor is still a mystery man. More mysterious is the sleep schedule that the ‘Knight & Day’ actor follows through the years.
The ‘Top Gun’ actor made himself a name around the globe through his action-packed movies. Flying jets and riding a motorcycle over the cliff, the actor has endeared a lot when it comes to filmmaking. The ardent Scientology follower’s dedication to his profession is what has made him one of the richest actors in the world.

Tom Cruise Rarely Sleeps
In ‘Mission: Impossible 7′, Tom Cruise rides his motorbike over the cliff multiple times to get a perfect shot just like he wanted. And it is with the same enthusiasm that he had for the first shot that Cruise does the final one. To be handsome and fit at the same time, the actor must probably have a healthy diet and a precise sleep schedule. But nope. The actor rarely sleeps.
It was on the red carpet of ‘Mission: Impossible-Dead Reckoning Part 1‘ Italian premiere that an interviewer asked the ‘Top Gun’ about his sleep schedule. One of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ co-stars had shared with the interviewer that they had seen Tom Cruise sleep twice. One on the flight to Japan and the other in a zero-gravity bed.
The 61-year-old admitted that he tries not to sleep. “I think I don’t sleep, I go unconscious, that’s what happens. It’s like, I love [that] my days start early, and they go early,” he replied amused. With tight schedules for movies in which he is a lead, doing a lot of action, it’s understandable if he rarely sleeps.
