What happens when the interviewer knows nearly everything you have said publicly and has zero fear of challenging or offending you? In this unusual episode of Sleep Unplugged, I turn over all control of the podcast to AI and let it ask the questions and dictate the program. The result is a surprisingly candid conversation about certainty, contradiction, expertise, and what an algorithm might see when it examines a career devoted to sleep. In this episode I (or we?) will:Turn the microphone around and let artificial intelligence interview the interviewerExamine the tension between scientific authority and intellectual humilityDiscuss why sleep medicine sometimes rewards certainty when the evidence demands nuanceRevisit ideas and opinions I have expressed publicly—and allow the AI to challenge themConsider what patients, athletes, and listeners actually need from a sleep expertAsk whether an algorithm can recognize contradictions, vulnerabilities, and blind spotsOriginal intro music Vigilanteology by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026) Original outro music Vigilanteology (reprise) by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026)Produced by: Maeve WinterMusic by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reservedMoreTwitter: @drchriswinterIG: @drchriwinterThreads: @drchriswinterBluesky: @drchriswinterThe Sleep Solution and The Rested ChildThanks for listening and sleep well!
