Late nights have been a childhood routine for Shahrukh

Shahrukh Khan

At his age, Shahrukh Khan has the vibe and energy that few 40 something have. He thrives on caffeine and nicotine and his love for late nights is what brings out the creativity in SRK.

The actor has said many a times in interviews that late nights work best for him and the badshah of Bollywood sometimes barely goes about with four hours of sleep. And this reverse habit seemed to kick start right in childhood.

In an interview to a media house, SRK recounts an interesting anecdote where he overslept after his 5th standard exam. That incident made him so hyper that he started getting sleepless nights and his father would often sit by his bedside and read him his school notes while a young Shahrukh was sleeping.

He further recalls in the interview that it was this habit that helped him remember well and it seemed to become a habit. Eventually, he did not need his father by his bedside and could remember well, while being wide awake into the wee hours of the morning.

A nocturnal workaholic, SRK mostly goes to bed at 6:00 am and is yet fresh and fit as a fiddle.
