The Fifty Shades of Grey alum told the Wall Street Journal that if she gets less than 10 hours of sleep a night she can't function properly. She added that she can easily sleep for 14 hours straight.
"Sleep is my number one priority in life," the actress, 34, said.
Johnson also explained that she doesn't have a scheduled wake-up time every day. Instead, she plans her sleep routine on a day-by-day basis. "If I’m not working, if I have a day off on a Monday, then I will sleep as long as I can," she said.
In addition to getting enough sleep, Johnson said she works out five days a week – a mix of hot yoga, pilates and body weight training. She also meditates twice every day.
"I do transcendental meditation," she continued. "I’ve been really into breathwork recently and that’s been helping me a lot with anxiety."

Mental health is something that the Madame Web star has not shied away from talking about. In a 2020 interview with Marie Claire, she opened up about dealing with depression since her teenage years.
"That was when, with the help of professionals, I was like, 'Oh, this is a thing I can fall into.' But I've learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world. I guess I have a lot of complexities, but they don't pour out of me. I don't make it anyone else's problem," she told the outlet.
Her father, Don Johnson, praised her ability to make her own decisions in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE in May. "We don't get involved in each other's worlds, we're father and daughter," he said about the respect they have for one another's careers.
