Robin Williams was reportedly sleeping up to 18 hours a day before his death.
The 63-year-old actor, whose body was found by his personal assistant after he hanged himself at his home in Tiburon, California on Monday (11.08.14), also "wasn't eating" in the weeks before taking his own life due to his severe depression.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Robin had been suffering from depression and would often sleep a majority of the day and night. His bedroom had black out curtains, because Robin didn't want light in his bedroom.
"He wasn't eating and was just having problems getting out of bed. He would often complain that he was just so tired, even after sleeping 20 hours."
The 'Mrs. Doubtfire' actor sought relief from his personal struggles in his work for much of his life.
The insider said: "Robin's comedic talent came from the sadness he had in his personal life . . . the laughter was his coping mechanism.
"He had been battling depression for most of his adult life . . . it was always there."
Family members and friends have started planning the Oscar-winning star's private funeral.
The source said: "Everyone is obviously just stunned that Robin committed suicide . . . his family is holed up together and beginning to make plans for a very private funeral.
"There will most likely be a public memorial to celebrate his life that his fans can be a part of."

Kristin Cavallari wants another baby.
The former 'The Hills' star, who has sons, Camden, two, and Jaxon, three months, with her NFL star husband, Jay Cutler, admits "motherhood is a lot of work" but hopes to expand their family in the future.
The 27-year-old jewellery and shoe designer told Chicago's Michigan Avenue magazine: "We love having kids, so I do think we'll end up having another one but then we're done."
She added: "Being pregnant for a full nine months isn't the best thing in the world."
The blonde beauty has her hands full with her youngest son, who hasn't settled into a regular sleeping schedule yet.
She said: "He's a happy baby, except that he's not a great napper, so I'm working on trying to get him to take better naps right now which is all I can really ask for.
"When Camden's going down, Jax is just waking up to eat and play, so there's literally no time. You have zero time to yourself."
But Kristin feels much more confident with her second child.
She said: "Well, it's a lot easier in the sense that you know what to do and expect, so you have a lot more confidence.
"Plus, you're definitely more relaxed with the second one because you're not stressed out by questioning everything that you're doing."

Usher claims getting married is the "best mistake" he has ever made.
The 'Good Kisser' hitmaker, who has two sons, Usher Jr., six, and Naviyd, five, with ex-wife Tameka Foster, insists he has no regrets about tying the knot with her in 2007 even though they divorced two years later.
Asked about his best mistake, the 35-year-old star told the September issue of O magazine: "Getting married at 28."
He added: "Most people probably think I regret it because I ended up getting divorced, but it helped me learn that sometimes I think I know more than I actually do."
The 'Voice' USA mentor secured primary custody of his children in 2012 after a bitter court battle with former celebrity stylist Tameka.
The 'More' hitmaker previously said his sons are his "most prized possession."
Earlier this year, he said: "They are my greatest investment, my most prized possession, it's everything."
Tameka, 43, previously confessed she "nagged" Usher a lot during their marriage because she struggled to cope with the pressure of being in a high profile relationship.
Explaining the reasons for their split, she said: "Pressures from the public, you know. But then I did dumb stuff. I made a lot of mistakes. He always told me, 'You gotta drink a lot of milk.' You know, you gotta toughen up because I wasn't ready for the scrutiny. And then to just hear the things people would say about me, it hurt me a lot. And I think I nagged him as a result of what I was going through."

Kim Kardashian West says Adrienne Bailon "has good intentions."
The 33-year-old reality TV star, who recently lashed out at the former The Cheetah Girls singer on Twitter after she claimed her two-year relationship with Kim's younger brother, Rob Kardashian, had hurt her career, hinted their feud was merely a misunderstanding and they have since buried the hatchet.
Asked if she would prefer to have Adrienne or Rob's other ex-girlfriend Rita Ora as a sister-in-law, she told 'Watch What Happens Live' on Tuesday night (12.08.14): "I would say Adrienne Bailon because she was in our lives for a long time and I know she's a really sweet girl, she has good intentions and she has a good heart."
Kim previously blasted Adrienne, 30, for telling a magazine that she regretted appearing on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' when she was dating Rob, 27, from 2007 until 2009.
She said: "To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career. I probably realised that too late - not that it would've affected my decisions in terms of who I dated, but it would've affected my decision to appear on the show."
A furious Kim later tweeted: "Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian
"So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down #FamilyForever (sic)"

Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly dating Brad Falchuk.
The 41-year-old actress, who announced her split from Chris Martin in late March after 10 years of marriage, has been swept off her feet by the 'Glee' co-creator.
A source told Us Weekly magazine that things between the Oscar winner, who has appeared on five episodes of the series since 2010, and the 43-year-old executive producer, who split from his wife of 10 years, Suzanne, early last year, "started off professionally," but their relationship recently evolved into something more.
The rumoured new couple were spotted enjoying a two-hour romantic dinner at East Borough in Los Angeles recently, where an eyewitness said: "It was flirty."
They also spent some quality time together after flying to Utah for a weekend in late July.
Gwyneth and Coldplay frontman Chris, 37, who have daughter Apple, 10, and son Moses, eight, together, have frequently insisted they are still "very close" friends.
The pair, who are neighbours in LA, fuelled rumours of a reconciliation in recent weeks, as they have been spotted numerous times together in the Hamptons in New York.
But last month, the 'Magic' hitmaker insisted: "The truth is...well, I don't really love talking about this stuff. But the thing we told everyone at the beginning of the year is true. We are very close. We are not together. But we're, you know, that's the truth and that's it."
He added: "You know, there's a lot of love. No scandal, I'm afraid. I wish I could give you scandal."

Dwayne Johnson's family is "so thankful that no one was killed" when his mother and cousin were hit by a drunk driver.
The 'Hercules' actor's mother, Ata Naivia-Johnson, and cousin, Lina Fanene, are "going to be okay" after a woman, who has since been charged with driving under the influence (DUI), smashed into their white Cadillac Escalade while they were travelling home from a fundraising banquet near Orlando, Florida on August 2, but it will "take some time" for them to get over it.
Retired professional wrestler Afa Anoa'i, a cousin of Ata and uncle to Lina, told PEOPLE magazine: "Physically, they're going to be okay. But they're very emotional now. They're shaken up, so this will take some time for them to get over."
But he added: "We have a very close family. We take care of each other."
Lina underwent surgery for a broken collarbone, while Ata suffered a bruised chest and lungs. Her left arm was also injured and fitted with a cast.
Afa hopes the accident will serve as a lesson to other motorists.
He said: "This is our family's moment to remind people about the issue of driving while under the influence. It's never worth it to drink and drive.
"We were just so thankful that no one was killed, including the girl who was driving the other car. We don't want to see anything bad happen to anybody."
Dwayne, also known as The Rock, dropped everything to be with his family after the accident and escorted Ata home from hospital yesterday (12.08.14).

Jennifer Aniston celebrated the two year anniversary of her engagement to Justin Theroux in Bora Bora.
The former 'Friends' star, who agreed to marry the 'Leftovers' star when he proposed on his 41st birthday on August 10 2012, whisked him away for a romantic holiday at the Four Seasons resort on the French Polynesian island to mark the special occasion and his 43rd birthday last Sunday (10.08.14).
An insider said: "It wasn't a surprise, but Jen planned the whole thing.
"The day has a lot of meaning to them."
The source also told Us Weekly magazine that the duo spent most of their time relaxing on the beach, saying: "Jen and Justin both have reading lists. When they go away they like to catch up on their literature."
The couple are now thinking about tying the knot in the exotic location, as they are still desperate to host a low-key destination wedding away from Los Angeles after failing to find suitable venues in two of their favourite places, Greece and Mexico.
Wedding planner Kevin Lee, who organised Jennifer's first wedding to Brad Pitt in 2000, previously revealed: "Jennifer and Justin are getting married right by the ocean, so it will be a beach meets California modern-chic sort of thing. She is going to have it [the wedding] out of the country [US]."

Kim Kardashian West "totally understood" her brother Rob's decision not to attend her wedding.
The sock designer flew out of Paris, France the day before his sister tied the knot with Kanye West in Florence, Italy, in May, reportedly due to feeling increasingly unhappy with his weight gain, and while the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star insisted they never fought about his decision, she admits he didn't tell her face-to-face that he was leaving.
Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live', she said: "He sent me a long email the morning of, that he was going to leave. There was no fight.
"I just thought, 'You know what, this is my day, I'm not even going to worry about it.'
"I totally understand that he wouldn't want to see a lot of people if he was feeling uncomfortable and you can only pray and wish that someone would not miss out on more memories in life, because life is about memories."
While Kim - who has 13-month-old daughter North with Kanye - insisted she wasn't "non-empathetic" over Rob's problems, she admitted she gets "frustrated" at his apparent lack of effort to change things.
She added: "My brother and I are so close, he's one of my best friends. I'm definitely a tough love kind of person. If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it, and I don't sit and complain about it for a year.
"I try to encourage him. And once you don't make that change for so long, and it's not happening, I get frustrated. My patience runs out."
