Mariah Carey spends 15 hours a day sleeping in a room full of voice-preserving humidifiers before every live performance.
The sexy diva has confessed she insists on the extreme preparation to ensure her amazing voice is in top condition when she sings live.
She admitted: "It's bleak, but you gotta do what you gotta do."
Mariah has also revealed she never gets out of bed before 5pm.
The stunning singer also goes to sleep at 7am most days, and usually eats her main meal around 2am.
She explained: "I live in my own little universe."
Meanwhile, Mariah has revealed she used to live on just one dollar a day. Despite being a multi-millionaire diva now, the singer has revealed she used to struggle to make ends meet.
She added in an interview with Britain's Glamour magazine: "There were times when I had one dollar to last all day. So it was, 'Do I go on the subway, or do I have a bagel?'
"But I didn't care, because in my mind I knew, 'I'm gonna succeed one day, so this is my moment where I have holes in my shoes.'"
