She talked about her sleeping issues, how she sought medical help, and the sleep campaign she joined.

She revealed that she struggled with insomnia, sleepwalking, and sleep anxiety for years.

Aniston said it started in her 30s or earlier and her worrying about it only made it worse.

She also started sleepwalking but was woken by her house alarms every time.

Despite it all, she kept putting off getting medical help and trivializing her sleep issues.

Aniston eventually got medical help and has now joined a sleep issue campaign to help others.
