Sharon Stone needs eight hours of sleep a night so she doesn’t have seizures.
The 65-year-old actress was given just a one percent chance of surviving after suffering a nine-day brain hemorrhage in 2001.
And she admitted that she isn’t often hired these days because of how she has to deal with the ongoing fallout from what happened to her.
“I now feel more comfortable saying publicly what really happened to me,” she said People magazine.
‘For a long time I wanted to pretend that I was doing well.
‘I need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep for my brain medication to work so I don’t have seizures. So I am disabled and that is why I am not often hired. These are the things I’ve been dealing with for the past 22 years, and I’m open about them now.”

After her hospitalization, the Basic Instinct star was left with a “stutter” and “couldn’t see correctly.”

She still doesn’t think she’s “got most of it back,” but she’s at peace with it now.
She said: ‘I have lost everything. I’ve lost all my money. I have lost custody of my child. I lost my career. I’ve lost all those things that you think are your real identity and your life.
“I never really got most of it back, but I’ve reached a point where I’m okay with it, where I really realize that I am enough.”

‘I am proud of myself and proud of my achievements – from surviving to helping others survive.’
