CELEBRITY Sleep

Though it might be hard to imagine since the rich and famous seem immune to the problems of mere mortals, even celebrities lie awake at night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Perhaps even more so than we think, what with their busy schedules and mass amounts of pressure on their shoulders.

Jennifer Aniston has been struggling with sleep problems for decades, ranging from insomnia to sleepwalking. "I think it started somewhere in my 30s or even earlier, but you just don't start to notice the effects of a lack of sleep when we're younger because we're so invincible," she told People in an interview published April 15. "It began as something that I would just accept and then all of a sudden you realize the effects of your lack of sleep and how it affects your day and your work and your mind function and your physique."

The 'Morning Show' star said her insomnia got so bad that she even started sleepwalking at one point. "I've been woken up by house alarms going off that I've set off," she admitted, "And I don't think I do that anymore. That was when I was super sleep deprived."

Though the actress initially put off seeking treatment for her sleep issues, she realized in the last few years she needed serious help because "you can't really abide by the three pillars of health—which are diet, exercise and sleep—if you can't really exercise and you can't really eat right if you haven't slept well because your body clock is so completely thrown off." Now she has a set bedtime routine each night and leaves her phone out of the bedroom. 

Sleep deprivation can be really harmful to your health, but some stars have cultivated quite interesting thoughts from it, while others just wish they could get some z's.  Click through to see which of your favorite stars have struggled with insomnia, and see what they had to say about it.
