Justin Chambers checks into hospital for sleep disorder

Dr. Alex Karev, of ABC’s TV show, is seeking help from real doctors in real life, according to his publicist.

It seems Justin Chambers, the actor who plays Dr. Alex Karev, has checked himself into the UCLA Medical Center "to get help with a pre-existed sleeping disorder," according to his publicist, Danica Smith.

Chambers, who is 37, voluntarily checked himself into the UCLA Medical Center, Smith said, on January 28, then left on January 30. No other details were released about Justin Chambers’ stay.

In issuing the statement of going to UCLA for treatment of a "pre-existing sleep disorder," Chambers asked that others "respect his privacy and that of his family," according to a statement issued Friday.

Perhaps the world will soon learn what this mysterious sleep disorder is, and Chambers can do some work to help promote it in the public’s eye.
