Congrats to Pluto Pillow for winning the 2026 Sleep Unplugged podcast Pillow Fight!

Doctors DO NOT support this. Come on @emoryuniversity.bsky.social…I know your sleep doctors well. Make some noise. Permanent DST is a terrible idea (that’s been done before).

I travel frequently, and I have no doubt that there are airports affected. There are also airports not affected but are struggling because of the panic the media is creating. People are getting to the airport SO early they are overwhelming standard TSA crews. Reporting needs to be more precise.

As a sleep specialist, could I be more sick of this topic?
Answer: No

Whoa…you mean this administration is claiming things that are easily disproven with video evidence? Not buying it…no way.

So maybe I also enjoy the game without understanding why the quarterback called a “Green Left Twin Z-Sh Short Tight Pass 37 Buster Bluff Naked Right Y Fluty Sting X Spear”?

I’m old and the endless “this frequency will instantly put you into deep sleep” or “this frequency of noise may be linked to negative effects on long-term brain health” tires me. 😂

I love the Muse and use it with patients/clients/athletes…but I do wonder with the Wild West show that is sleep hacks and sleep tech, what is one getting beyond simple meditation, prayer, breathwork prior to bed?

Because simply meditating before bed could increase deep sleep by 81% and time spent awake by 67%. Cordi MJ, Schlarb AA, Rasch B. Deepening sleep by hypnotic suggestion. Sleep. 2014 Jun 1;37(6):1143-52, 1152A-1152F. doi: 10.5665/sleep.3778. PMID: 24882909; PMCID: PMC4015388.

What I am saying is this: is the intervention improving anything meaningful (e.g. amount of deep sleep, total sleep time, performance on cognitive assessments, response times, blood pressure…anything that would have a performance/heath benefit), and are you able to surpass simple meditation…

Good thoughtful response….especially the Better Call Saul gaffe. I appreciate the criticism. I long for more but never get it. I’ll be mentioning all of this in the next episode!! Thanks buddy!

Yep…that’s my point. As a practical matter I really don’t care about creating an EEG signature that looks like SWS…I’m looking for something that performs. Over the entire expanse of sleep research, what doesn’t improve SWS a little bit?

I have never seen so much misunderstanding about a new medication. This drug is not a “holy grail.” Educate yourself. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

It could be…but Apnimed is not it. This is NOT a holy grail sleep apnea treatment. This is not a hot take…just look at the data and understand the nature of sleep apnea. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

In December, I shared my Top 10 Sleep Threats on @drchriswinter.bsky.social Sleep Unplugged podcast. Here in these occupied but resilient Twin Cities, I stand by those rankings, but might temporarily switch #1 & #2.

Looks delicious ☕️

This is experiment is over.

Great article. I referenced it in my latest podcast episode as an example of a great/helpful media article about sleep. Well done!

So clearly the rallies did not work.

That’s no ballroom…

Unreal. For the first time, two teams I work for will meet for a world championship. So thrilled.

September travel was not gym friendly. I’m back.

Let me guess: Kid Rock with surprise guest Scott Baio?

Trust me, I agree with you, but I suspect the Republicans don’t care, will not capitulate, and will spin it all to be the Left’s fault. It’s a tough spot. Not sure you fixed anything for me, but appreciate the thought. We have an idiot for a president; nothing will be “fixed” until we vote him out.

Come on Democrats. Nobody wants this shutdown.

Well bless his heart. His acting ability to portray a reasonable human being is incredible. 

In my opinion, there is no such thing as a science denier. Gravity? Photosynthesis? Genetics? Don’t believe any of it huh? Curious what an SD would believe in. Chocolate? Ford Pick-ups? Taylor Swift?
