JACKSON SLEPT THROUGH CHURCH TRIPS

JANET JACKSON was so busy as a child she used trips to church to catch up on her sleep. The tired pop star was a regular at Kingdom Hall prayer sessions and book readings growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, but snoozed through them all, much to the disgust of her mother. She tells Parade.com, "I'd get up on Sunday mornings, go to the Kingdom Hall, go again on Thursday night and go to book study on Tuesdays, because that was my mother's routine. "I believe in God. I feel that spiritual connection. But, most of the time, I didn't pay attention... I was asleep. I know that's awful (but) I was so tired, so busy, so knocked out. "My mother would hit me on my thigh to wake me up: 'Baby, wake up!' She'd say, 'Wake up and close your legs! You have on a dress!' "So, I'd wake up and close my legs. A few minutes later, I'd be asleep again, and my head would fall back and my legs open up."
