Kalki Koechlin opens up about sleep struggles, says she uses sleeping pills while travelling to the US

Hosted by Soha Ali Khan, the podcast has steadily built a space for thoughtful and honest conversations around health, relationships and modern life. In the newest episode, the spotlight turned to sleep, a subject often overlooked despite its significance in everyday wellness. Joining the discussion were Kalki Koechlin and sleep specialist Dr. Viny Kantroo, who together explored sleep cycles, common lifestyle habits and warning signs that many people tend to ignore.

During the conversation, Soha asked Kalki about her own experiences with insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns. Responding candidly, Kalki said, “I do take sleeping pills now if I’m travelling to the US and back and need to quickly adjust, I take them for three or four days. But I’m very afraid of it becoming addictive, and I’m very scared to use it regularly because I feel like it might stop me from being able to sleep on my own”.

Her remarks reflected a concern shared by many people who rely on medication for short-term sleep support while also worrying about long-term dependency. The discussion balanced personal experiences with professional guidance, as Dr. Kantroo offered insight into healthy sleep habits and the science behind rest and recovery.

The episode continued All About Her’s approach of blending real-life stories with expert advice in a calm, accessible format. With Soha steering the conversation in an easy and empathetic manner, the session addressed common myths around sleep while highlighting why quality rest is essential for overall health.

Beyond simply discussing bedtime routines, the episode underscored how sleep plays a key role in emotional balance, physical recovery and long-term wellness. For listeners dealing with insomnia, travel fatigue or irregular schedules, the conversation offered both relatability and perspective.

The latest episode of All About Her featuring Kalki Koechlin and Dr. Viny Kantroo is currently streaming on YouTube.
