Madonna's longtime pal Debi Mazar has become a crusader for the sleep deprived after suffering insomnia for years. The Entourage actress is using her celebrity to urge others who suffer from sleeplessness to check out a new website, BedsideBriefings.com, which offers help to those who can't get to sleep.
She tells Life & Style magazine, "My insomnia started in my mid-20s. It got to the point where my immune system would give out. It affected my concentration level and being able to perform on the job."
Now 44, Mazar reveals she eventually got the help she needed from her doctor, but now there's online help for insomnia sufferers. She adds, "The website lists factors that affect sleep, consequences of lack of sleep and then tips on how to help you sleep." (KL/LS/IG)

insomnia is bad for you. do we really need scientific proof for that? unfortunately there is little medical help - other than potentially addictive medications. Sleep clinics are for apnea sufferers not insomniacs. I read a book that makes a lot of senses -even though it goes against all existing "treatments'. Dr. Siegfried Haug (I Want to Sleep-Unlearning Insomnia) says that ALL fighting insomnia is counterproductive because fighting triggers a biological alert-response that will keep you awake,. he teaches to embrace sleep instead - starting during the day. People should read it if they are serious about sleeping without drugs.
