Sharing how she felt, Zara explained: "I'm going to spend the evening attempting to relax because I've got a MENTAL week coming up and I've not been sleeping properly recently. "Anyone got any tips on relaxing in the evening/before bed?

I find myself thinking about work, what I need to do, obsessing over hours of sleep, getting panicked, sometimes laying there crying because I'm so frustrated.

I needed to get up at 5.45am this morning for filming and I found myself getting so stressed about not sleeping, it's a vicious circle [crying face emoji] it's happening most nights and it's driving me mad because very night I'm going to bed already stressed about not sleeping." Zara continued: "Then when it get to after 2am I start panicking thinking someone's going to break into my house (not even joking) even though I have my full house alarm on, alarms on every window, a panic button and loads loads more security measures (to the point where Sam thinks I'm taking it too far).
