American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn has revealed that she suffers from insomnia. Speaking on US TV show, TODAY, sleep-deprived Vonn said: “I’ve actually had insomnia for quite some time, and it started when I had my first big knee surgery. As an athlete, you know how important sleep is. I was lying in bed after surgery in a lot of pain and trying to sleep, and I couldn’t. The anxiety behind it just got me down this really bad path of repetitively not sleeping.”

Insomnia is a sleep disorder where a person finds it tough to fall asleep or remain asleep for a long period or get back to sleeping after waking up.
