While a family member may see the person lying in bed All Day, it is comparable to climbing mount everest, attempting to reach the peak of the highest mountain in the world. It should not be treated as anything less.
Sleepless nights can be one of the toughest parts of benzo withdrawal. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds, an osteopathic physician with a wealth of experience in addiction treatment, tackles the thorny issue of benzo withdrawal insomnia.

Leeds dives into practical strategies to help those struggling with this form of insomnia, offering advice that ranges from using brown noise devices and binaural beats programs to finding comfort in personal rituals like prayer. He emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution; what works for one person might not work for another. This episode also delves into the broader implications of sleep deprivation and how it can exacerbate rebound anxiety. Dr.
Leeds provides a compassionate look at how to improve sleep quality during this difficult time, making it clear that proper support and understanding are crucial.
