Jessica Simpson has found a novel way of beating insomnia – by lying on the floor and dozing off.

The singer/actress admitted that she sometimes gets out of the bed she shares with her American footballer boyfriend Tony Romo and lays on the bedroom floor instead.

Simpson reveals, "It's a mental thing. If I tell myself I can't fall asleep, there's no way I can so if I end up lying on the floor I do."

Maybe she should try counting sheep.
