DEBI MAZAR BATTLES INSOMNIA

Her Entourage character is on top of everything, but in real life, Debi Mazar has battled sleeplessness for years. “My insomnia started in my mid-20s,” she tells Life & Style. “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.” Sleep deprivation can also cause weight gain and increase one’s risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
