A news reporter and her brother have inherited a debilitating brain disease which will stop them from ever sleeping again - and eventually kill them.
Hayley Webb, 30, and her brother Lachlan, 28, suffer from Fatal Familial Insomnia, a harrowing condition which so far has no cure.
The extremely rare disease affects one in 10 million people worldwide, and the siblings have no idea when it will strike.
Tragically, the disorder has already killed their mother and grandmother.
But now, they are undergoing tests to try and find a cure before the disease manifests itself.
