Resumen detallado

'It's so, so hard,' the actress said.

EastEnders star Michelle Collins has begged her fans for advice after being diagnosed with a chronic condition.

The actress, 64, who plays Cindy Beale in the BBC soap opera, took to Instagram to reveal she’d undergone an NHS sleep survey.

Sharing that she has ‘terrible issues with my sleep’, she said she’d been diagnosed with chronic insomnia, which left her feeling exhausted.

‘I finally got my results from my sleep test that I did through the NHS with the Royal Free Hospital. I’ve been waiting quite a long time,’ she said as the video began.

She went on to reveal that she had no problem getting to sleep but would wake up at ‘two or three in the morning’ and was unable to drift off again.

‘I’m so fed up with taking pills; anything to get me back to sleep temporarily, and then I feel terrible the next day,’ she said.

As the video continued, Michelle revealed that she had to wear a monitoring device on her finger for two days.

‘It was a two-day test. I put something like a pebble on my chest and a ring on my finger, and it monitors your sleep for two days,’ she explained.

When the results came back, Michelle learned the truth behind her sleepless nights.
