Jennifer Aniston thinks sleep is "beautiful". The 54-year-old actress has struggled with insomnia for years, and she's now grown to appreciate the value of sleeping well.

She told InStyle: "Sleep is extraordinary. It’s beautiful. But, boy, did I take it for granted when we were young. "When you're younger, you kind of take it for granted.

You think, ‘I can survive on three-to-five hours of sleep and I feel great,’ and then, all of a sudden, it just starts not to feel great and your performance isn't as up to par as it should be. " Jennifer acknowledged that a lack of sleep can lead to other health problems.

She said: "All of your body is getting all the work done that it put itself through during the day. You realise a lack of sleep leads to all sorts of health issues. " However, over the years, Jennifer has developed a routine that works well for her.
