How does a global superstar keep his head straight—and his eyes shut—when the spotlight never turns off? In this candid Heretics conversation, Robbie Williams sits down with Andrew Gold to unpack the reality of insomnia and ADHD on tour: adrenaline spikes after shows, 3 a.m. hotel walls, long-haul jet lag, and the restless brain that won’t let go. Raw, funny and unfiltered, Robbie explains how he juggles performance, family, creativity and mental health when sleep is a moving target.

Inside the episode you’ll hear:

👉 The post-show vortex: why coming down after stadium-level highs wrecks sleep—and the rituals Robbie uses to land the plane.

👉 ADHD on the road: attention “pinball,” routine hacks, and how structure (and humour) become lifelines between cities.

👉 Tour-tested sleep tools: pre-bed wind-downs, breathwork, light discipline, caffeine cut-offs, journaling—and what actually works when the mind won’t cooperate.

👉 Performance vs. recovery: balancing rehearsals, travel days and press without burning the fuse at both ends.

👉 The mindset shift: reframing insomnia from enemy to signal, so the night doesn’t ruin the next day.

Andrew’s calm, curiosity-led style gives Robbie room to reflect—on anxiety, fame’s echo chamber, the pull of the stage, and the private negotiations every artist makes with their own brain at 4 a.m. If you’re a performer, creative, shift-worker or just a chronic over-thinker, you’ll come away with practical ideas and a deeper appreciation of what resilience looks like behind the curtain.
