We’ve all heard of Michael Jackson’s freaky hyperbaric chamber slumber. But have you heard of Mariah Carey sleeping in a sauna?
The Glitter diva confesses that her vocal stylings are dependent on sleeping in a sauna. Carey was advised by the late, great Luther Vandross to adopt the routine in order to maximize her vocal abilities.
Apparently, steam relaxes vocal chords, and therefore it’s good for singers to expose their throats to as much steam as possible. Of her sauna sleeping, Mariah told press, “It’s for my throat. Sleeping in there will make my voice better because of the steam. Luther Vandross was actually the one who told me about the humidity being helpful for the voice.”
And you can stop worrying that the Dreamlover singer isn’t getting enough rest. She told press, “I sleep in there - on a water bed covered by a terry cloth - for three hours, then I go into my normal room. I’ve got to sleep for a total of 15 hours to sing the way I want to.”
