Looks like Rezz all but able relax this year.
The Canadian electronic music superstar recently appeared as a guest on KITTENS’ podcast, “She/Her/They,” to open up about the struggles that come with a hectic touring schedule, among other topics. She’s not usually one to appear on podcasts or do video interviews, much less talk about her own personal mental and physical health, traveling and finding healthy love.
Rezz started talking about his struggles with his mental health before the “Spiral” tour, the biggest and most expensive headlining tour of his career. He said he really struggled with the tour and was reluctant to do it because the music was two years old and didn’t represent him as an artist at the time.
His hesitation, he added, resulted in a bad case of insomnia, and he nearly canceled the tour “probably 50 times.” He explained that he is constantly working with his team to figure out how to manage the tour and balance his mental health.
He said he started taking melatonin and Ambien, an effective sleep aid used to treat insomnia in adults. The drug is known to have a number of severe effects and can cause “rebound insomnia” if you stop taking it, which is what Rezz did because it made him depressed.

And that’s when rebound insomnia kicks into high gear. He said this caused him to not sleep for about six days, and he was hospitalized.
“I’ve always been very optimistic and excited and excited about life,” Rezz told KITTENS. “It’s strange. Something is making me weak. It must be this medicine.”
