Navigating Chronic Insomnia In A Sleep-Obsessed Culture


Listen Later

For almost 29 years, journalist Jennifer Senior was a self-described “brilliant sleeper.” Then, one night, something changed…and Jennifer has struggled with chronic insomnia ever since. She talks to Anita about insights on insomnia from both her reporting and personal life. Then, we meet a couple who share suggestions for navigating insomnia in a romantic partnership.

Meet the guests:

- Jennifer Senior is a staff writer for The Atlantic and the author of "Why Can't Americans Sleep?"

- Gabrielle Moss and Jesse Rifkin are writers living in New York City
