Caitlyn Jenner has revealed she's been suffering from insomnia because she's been worrying about young people "dying" and being "murdered" because they're transgender.
The 65-year-old former Olympic athlete opened up about the overwhelming responsibility she feels being such a prominent member of the transgender community, while filming her reality show, I AM CAIT.
It's 4:32 am and a bleary-eye Caitlyn grabs the camera and reveals she can't sleep. Firstly she rubs her face and says: "God, I look in the monitor and I feel like crap", before revealing what's troubling her.

"I feel bad that these [people]—especially young people—are going through such a difficult time in their life.
"We don't want people dying over this. We don't want people murdered over this stuff. What a responsibility I have towards this community."
In the first episode of her I AM CAIT, she revealed that she contemplated suicide during her darkest moments, but managed to tackle her worries and build a better future for herself.
She continued: "Am I going to do everything right? Am I going to say the right things? Do I project the right image? My mind's just spinning with thoughts. I just hope I get it right. I hope I get it right."
As far as we can see, Caitlyn has done a solid job so far. In the debut episode of I AM CAIT she goes to comfort the mother of 14-year-old Kyler, a transgender teen who tragically committed suicide. She also used her acceptance speech at the ESPY Awards to draw attention to the shocking challenges the transgender community face.
And in the June issue of *Vanity Fair, *Caitlyn explained: "Since the Diane Sawyer piece, every day... it's exciting to go to the mailbox... I get letters every day from all of these people from all over the world. I've gotten a lot from trans women, and telling their story and telling how excited they were to see the Diane piece."
Keep up the good work, Cait.
