Jennifer Aniston has revealed she has been battling insomnia for decades, with the lack of sleep affecting every area of her daily life.

The Friends star, 53, opened up about her struggles with sleep and sleepwalking which started over 20 years ago. She admitted: ‘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. ’Jennifer started off by ‘accepting’ her lack of sleep but it was only when she started feeling the long-term effects that she realised it was a problem.

She explained to People: ‘All of a sudden you realise the effects of your lack of sleep and how it affects your day and your work and your mind function and your physique.

And the more I worry about it, the harder it is to fall asleep. ’Jennifer’s sleep issues got so bad that she even began sleepwalking when she was the most sleep-deprived, and would often wake herself up by setting off the motion sensor alarms in her house while walking around.
