Why Billie Eilish Still Sleeps In Her Parents' Bed

Popstar Billie Eilish gave fans something to talk about when the trailer for her Apple TV+ documentary, Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry, dropped on Dec. 15, 2020. The film is a "true coming-of-age story of the singer-songwriter and her rise to global superstardom," according to a press release, and it chronicles the writing, recording, and release of her debut album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? It also provides insight into her family life, including who she is incredibly close to.

Some fans might already know a little bit about Eilish's inner circle, as she collaborates on her songs with her brother Finneas O'Connell, with who she also performs. Her parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell, are actors who have struggled throughout the years. According to The New York Times, in light of Eilish's newfound fame, Baird acts as an assistant to Eilish when the "Bad Guy" singer is on tour. Her father is part of the tour crew, working as the lighting director. 

Speaking of the singer's parents, during an early moment from the Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry Apple TV+ documentary trailer, Eilish can be heard stating, "This is my parents' bed." Although that might seem like a random and small detail to bring up, it's significant, because as Eilish revealed, she still sleeps in her parents' bed. Keep on reading to find out why.

One thing that fans learn about Billie Eilish in Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry doc is that she sleeps with her parents because she's "scared of monsters." 

During a 2019 interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish first revealed her fear of monsters, telling the magazine that she "still jumps the last few feet into bed in case there's a monster underneath waiting to grab her." That fear apparently grew as she became more and more famous. "I actually had to stop watching horror movies, because everything started flipping me out. I saw creatures outside my windows. I had sleep paralysis. I'm done with the fake s**t — real life is way too scary," she told the magazine. 

Circling back to the trailer, fans get to witness some typical teenage moments, like when Eilish does a little happy dance or when she receives her driver's license, later getting her dream car, a matte black Dodge Challenger. Plus, in an adorable moment, we get a glimpse of toddler Billie Eilish. The singer, who became the youngest ever to record a James Bond title track, per Forbes, also addressed a packed audience during a performance, telling them, "You guys need to be OK because y'all are the reason I'm OK, OK?" With moments like these, this is definitely the type of reflective documentary that her fans will love.
