Actress Julianna Margulies says she had to stop reading the news before going to bed because, starting with Trump’s 2016 election, she would have nightmares about President Trump and wake up in a sweat.
“One of the things I stopped doing was I do not read the news at night because I was waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares,” Margulies told CBS host Stephen Colbert.
“I was in a boardroom, there was a long table, and it was just a guy who’s in the Oval Office right now, sitting there and I walked in and I screaming, screaming … I mean I was going crazy and screaming,” she said.
The “ER” actress explained she then made the decision to read the New York Times in the morning and listen to NPR so she could be informed, while occasionally watching PBS in the evening.
Margulies, who is now known for her most recent role as Alicia Florrick in CBS’ legal drama “The Good Wife,” will be appearing in National Geographic’s “Hot Zone” miniseries that will air on Memorial Day.
