Fans have voiced concern about Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, a multi-talented Nigerian musician after she decided to use medication to help her sleep while working on her upcoming studio album.

The mother of one cried out for help on Instagram about her inability to sleep owing to the heavy pressure she is under while working on a particular project.

Later, the singer settled on a sleeping pill called “Melatonin.”

Simi had previously stated in her Instagram stories that she only sleeps in the morning and never at night.

She penned:

“GUYS, I’M DESPERATE RIGHT NOW. I CAN ONLY SLEEP IN THE MORNINGS (LONG STORY), AND I’VE ALWAYS SLEEPED WELL AT NIGHT. SOMEONE TO HELP ME SLEEP AND STAY ASLEEP FOR AT LEAST 7 HOURS INSTEAD OF DAYLIGHT IS REQUIRED. ALCOHOL OR MEDICINE ARE NOT PERMITTED. HELP! BAD SLEEP, ESPECIALLY ON A CONTINUAL BASIS, IS TERRIFYING TO ANYONE’S HEALTH.”

In another post, the singer discussed how difficult and sick the project she is now working on is, and how she is confident that God would see her through it.

“I FEEL LIKE I’VE SLEPT A TOTAL OF 10 HOURS IN 5 DAYS BECAUSE I KEEP OUTPUTTING SMALL “FIRES” I DIDN’T SEE COMING BACK TO BACK LOL. THIS IS HARD AND SICK, BUT IT WILL COME TOGETHER BECAUSE GOD HAS ME AND DOESN’T PLAY WITH ME. #JUN3 #TOBEHONEST ON HER VERIFIED INSTAGRAM, SHE WROTE

“Ok Melatonin it is,” she said, opting for Melatonin as the medicine she’ll be taking.

Her fans, on the other hand, advised her to take it easy on herself in order to avoid a breakdown.

“Ha, is Melatonin not to be had bayi?” wrote goodness chidimna.

“Try washing your bed sheet, it might be why you can’t sleep,” mrblack panda wrote.
