When you get down to it, Heath Ledger died because of Overwhelm and Exhaustion
Written by John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM" on February 6, 2008 – 7:24 pmHealth Ledger…
"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told The New York Times.
"I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he had taken two Ambien pills, which only gave him an hour of sleep.
He said this in a November interview that his most recent completed roles in the Batman movie "The Dark Night" and Bob Dylan biopic "I’m Not There" had taken a toll, saying he couldn’t sleep.

This is a crying shame. I really liked that guy, his acting and his place in our world. "The Patriot" was one of my favorite movies… and he seemed like a quality man.
It’s a major loss.
What can we learn from this besides the fact that the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for Heath and that Heath’s accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage?
It is this…
Sleep, or more broadly and accurately said, personal energy management is not an option, it’s the very essence and the most fundamental lifestyle / skill you can ever learn. Overwhelm leads to exhaustion and that can lead to more than overweight and health complications, it can mean death.
