Mika Brzezinski: This therapy is helping me triumph over my 20-year addiction to sleep medicine

All Roads Lead to Home –

March 5, 2020 – It started with my graveyard shift at CBS News when I was 30 years old. Besides having two babies under the age of two, my shift was brutal. After a one-hour commute, I went to work at 9 p.m. and returned home at 5 a.m.

Upon my return home, I forced myself to sleep whenever I had childcare. In the early days, my doctor prescribed me Lorazepam and Ambien. I always felt unhealthy when I would wake up from this forced sleep and never felt normal physically. An endless exhaustion always seemed to define my waking hours. And when I finally had time on the weekends to catch up on sleep, I couldn’t.

The sleep deprivation affected everything. My ability to connect and enjoy life was always.
