MJ reattempts falling asleep through meditation; fails (3 h 30 m, 25 jun 2009 ano – 5 h 25 jun 2009 ano)

Descrição:

P. 170: Jackson, desperate to sleep, was surprised that the meditation had worked, albeit briefly, and asked Dr Murray if they could continue trying it. But an hour later their further efforts at meditation had failed to work and the singer was still wide awake. It was at this time in the morning that Jackson’s mood began to change significantly.

Apparently he started complaining more forcefully to Dr Murray. He told Murray, ‘I got to sleep, Dr Conrad, I have these rehearsals to perform. I must be ready for the show in England. And tomorrow I will have to cancel my performance. I have to cancel my trip, because, you know, I cannot function if I don’t get my sleep.’ The pressure on Dr Murray was beginning to grow as Jackson put the cancellation of the entire tour on his shoulders. The responsibility of getting Jackson to sleep, the only way in which he could function and therefore fulfil his commitments to the rehearsal process and, eventually the tour, was at that moment transferred to Dr Murray.

Responding to the increasingly agitated Jackson, Dr Murray suggested that they continue to try meditation. He reported saying to Jackson, ‘I want you to try. Just try, you know. So you have to close your eyes’. The singer would follow his instructions but continued to be restless on the bed, moving his feet constantly and shifting around incessantly. He started to complain once more to Murray. ‘Oh, I just can’t sleep,’ Jackson said, ‘The medicine doesn’t work.’
