In IU’s GQ Interview she stated that she doesn’t really know why she always feels on guard. However, since her sleeping problem started in her early 20s, it was the peak of her career. She might think that being on a busy schedule, the pressure to always stay alert and ready to work anytime is the main reason. Without she even realizes it, her body started to adapt to her daily activity and form a specific mechanism that affects her sleeping pattern.
Speaking of “Knee” a song that IU composed based on her own experience with sleeping problems, fans are wondering whether this song is her personal sleeping song. Well, the answer is actually a bit surprising.
