Sleep Unplugged

This month’s insomnia episode explores a provocative idea: can certain electronics actually help insomnia rather than harm it? While screens and devices are often blamed for poor sleep, some technologies aim to calm the nervous system, teach self-regulation, or reduce the anxiety that keeps insomnia going. In this episode we will: • Revisit the parasympathetic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and why the “wandering nerve” has fascinated medicine for centuries • Review the data for non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation and devices like Truvaga: what the research shows, what remains unclear, and whether stimulation truly reaches the vagus nerve • Undwerstand how implantable vagus nerve stimulators for epilepsy differ from consumer wellness devices, and why that matters for insomnia • Introduce the Muse Athena and the shift from passive neuromodulation to learning an active calming skill • Unpack what we know so far about the data behind Muse devices and insomnia • Consider Pavlok and behavioral technology: reducing anxiety around waking, oversleeping, and morning routines • Learn how to think about sleep tech without falling into orthosomnia or gadget-driven sleep anxiety Produced by: Maeve Winter More: Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!
