Sarah was catapulted into fame for her role as the spunky eldest daughter Haley in the long running family sitcom, which aired its final episode in 2020.
However, while it may be the role she is the most known for, during a recent conversation with her fellow co-star and oncreen mom Julie Bowen, the star revealed that there are portions of the show she does not remember filming at all.

The actress has been open about the fact that she has a chronic kidney condition called kidney dysplasia, and she has had two kidney transplants because of it.
She detailed the health challenges she faced while filming the show during a podcast episode of Quitters, with Julie and Chad Sanders, and she revealed: "There are some episodes of Modern Family where I do not remember filming because I was asleep. Dead asleep."
Sarah recalled having no memory of filming a Modern Family episode in which "Haley asked [Luke for] money," and admitted: "The entire episode I was asleep."
Sarah opened up about the chronic pain she experienced
She then explained the heartbreaking reality of working through her illness, saying: "I was not able to be awake for eight hours at a time… I was so exhausted all the time. I would be on set and would be filming, and I would be dead asleep, my head on the table."
