Washington, Mar 31 : Simon Cowell is planning to cut down on his reality shows, as he has started to find his gruelling work schedules "too exhausting".

The `American Idol' boss works for months, and sometimes years, on the show.

He often flies off and on to UK for his other TV projects `The X Factor' and `Britain's Got Talent'.

The TV star also runs a record label and production company, apart from judging his TV shows.

However, Cowell has admitted that the heavy workload is taking its toll on his life, and it's "something may have to give."

"Last year was tough and I really felt it around about the end of the year. There's a lot of pressure that comes with making the shows, running the record label and running the TV production company," Contactmusic quoted him as saying in an interview with Britain''s The Sun newspaper.

He added: "I got to the point where I was doing Idol, finishing auditions, getting room service at 10pm and then working for another six or seven hours on the British stuff. You do that week after week, month after month and it takes its toll on you." (ANI)
