Peet’s Bizarre Sleeping Ritual
By WENNTuesday, November 17, 2009
AMANDA PEET’s pals have accused the actress of acting like a “serial killer”, because she blacks out the windows at her home to help her two-year-old daughter sleep.
The Whole Nine Yards actress travels with duct tape and dark-coloured sheets because her daughter Frances needs complete darkness to get a good night’s sleep.
Peet admits she and her screenwriter husband David Benioff’s bizarre behaviour raises eyebrows among house guests, and hotel staff.
She says, “Some people think we take it too far - like we use blackout sheets. My girlfriend came over and said, ‘Her room is really lovely - except you kind of seem llike serial killers.’
“When we travel we bring duct tape and navy sheets, we unpack… and we proceed to tape them to the windows. So I’m sure when the staff come and see our room at these hotels they think we’re nuts.”
Peet and Benioff married in September 2006.
