She tells, "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."
"It's not just that getting enough sleep feels good and one feels rested. It's the fact that sleep is integral to one having a better health, especially as one gets older".
"All of your body is getting all the work done that it put itself through during the day. You realize a lack of sleep leads to all sorts of health issues," she says. "It's a deficit you won't ever get back."
