Insomniac. Another reason? "Insomniac Music Theater -- [and] I'm not saying this because you're VH1. I would come home every night and I would watch it. One morning I called my manager, and I said, 'This is the perfect name for the album.'"
The late-night lurker and son of '70s dreamboat Julio is grateful for the condition, though; the lack of shut-eye has helped him become one of the biggest-selling Spanish-language singers in the world. We got Iglesias to fill us in on what keeps him up late.
VH1: What's the story? Why can't you sleep? Is it your lady Anna Kournikova's fault?
Enrique Iglesias: Porn keeps me up at night. [And] my girlfriend -- only [during] the first two weeks. I'm kidding! I'm kidding about the porn.
VH1: Doesn't your insomnia get in the way of your work?
EI: If you go to a studio, you notice that most of the musicians don't work early in the morning. It's mostly at night. A lot of people that I work with, they were asking, "Did people get used to your schedule?" But most of them work late, late at night. So it wasn't really that difficult. For some reason, I just tend to write songs at night.
VH1: That's got to be tough.
EI: The body, it's a clock. You need fourteen hours of being awake, eight hours of sleeping, so it goes in cycles. If you don't follow that cycle, it screws up your body. I can't do it -- yesterday I was doing Regis and Kelly, and I had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to do sound check at 5:30. Then I went to Montreal and I came back at 2 in the morning. That's what screws me up. I've been to three different doctors for sleeping disorders.
