Simon was reportedly having trouble sleeping, so he woke up in the middle of the night and was heading downstairs to his kitchen for some warm milk.
His girlfriend, Lauren Silverman -- with whom he shares three-year-old son, Eric -- is now flying from New York City to London to be with him, according to People. Witnesses said she looked worried as she boarded her flight.
A source told the magazine that the entertainment mogul is concerned about whether he'll feel good enough to participate in Saturday night's live The X Factor broadcast in the U.K.
"I will be back," Simon confirmed on Friday, "but I don't know about tomorrow."
This past summer, Simon was forced to pull out of The X Factor's London auditions when he came down with a mystery illness, the U.K.'s The Sun reported.
