Louis Peitzman interviews the latest crop of Idols. His last interview is below. (Sorry, Kris Allen fans — the Idols rotate press days while on tour, and the show’s winner wasn’t available when Louis visited with the group. At least he got Glambert, right?)

SFBG: Same first question as everyone else — are you getting enough rest on tour?

Michael Sarver: Absolutely. Yeah, I would say I’m getting the rest I need. I mean, there’s nights when I want to sleep more than I do, and sometimes we’re on the bus and we’re sleeping and we get woke up, ‘cause we’ve arrived at the hotel. So your sleep kind of gets interrupted and it’s a weird deal, but I mean overall, I can’t say that I’m not getting adequate sleep. There are certain days that are worse than others, though.
