Sleep has been a major challenge for American singer Katy Perry since she welcomed her daughter Daisy Dove, now three months old.

Perry, 36, opened up about the challenges of being a new mother last Thursday (Dec 3) in a chat with actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness at the David Lynch Foundation's Meditate America virtual benefit event.
