#### What is Sleep Reset?
Sleep Reset is the world’s first digital, personalized sleep clinic, which treats end-to-end insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea. The program improves sleep and reduces sleep anxiety with the most effective methods from top-tier sleep clinics, including strategies based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) as well as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) diagnostics and treatment. It’s a life-long solution to sleep better, without pills or melatonin – which means no grogginess, side effects, or dependency. The program was designed in partnership with leading experts from top sleep clinics and universities.

#### What is CBT-I and why is it used in Sleep Reset?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured, evidence-based treatment that addresses the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate insomnia. It is recommended as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American College of Physicians — ahead of medication. Sleep Reset is built on CBT-I principles.

#### How is Sleep Reset's CBT-I based program different from a sleep app?
Most sleep apps offer generic sleep hygiene tips or white noise. Sleep Reset is a structured program: you can opt for the plan which comes with a dedicated sleep coach, and across all plans you get a personalized sleep plan built around your specific sleep problem, and daily check-ins to adjust that plan as you progress. It's closer to working with a sleep specialist than using an app.

#### Does CBT-I actually work?
Yes. CBT-I has decades of clinical research behind it. Studies consistently show it is more effective than sleep medication for long-term outcomes and produces lasting results — whereas medication typically only works while you're taking it. Sleep Reset's CBT-I program has been clinically proven to be 3x more effective than sleeping medications like Ambien.

#### Why don't more people use CBT-I if it works so well?
Access. There are very few CBT-I trained therapists relative to the number of people with insomnia, sessions are expensive, and many people don't know it exists. Most doctors default to prescribing medication because it's faster to prescribe than to refer to a specialist. Sleep Reset was built specifically to close that access gap.

#### Is Sleep Reset's CBT-I based program a medication?
No. Sleep Reset's CBT-I based program is entirely drug-free. The program works by addressing the behavioral and psychological patterns that cause chronic insomnia — things like irregular sleep schedules, time spent awake in bed, and anxiety around sleep — rather than chemically inducing sleep.

#### Who is Sleep Reset for?
Sleep Reset is designed for people who struggle with sleep problems — difficulty falling asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, waking too early, or consistently feeling unrefreshed. It works especially well for people who have tried basic sleep hygiene (no screens before bed, cutting caffeine) and haven't seen lasting results.

#### Is Sleep Reset for children or teens?
Sleep Reset's CBT-I based program is designed for children 14 years old and up. Children under 18 years old are required to have parental consent before proceeding.

#### Can I use Sleep Reset if I take sleep medication?
Yes. Many Sleep Reset members start the program while taking sleep aids. The program is designed to reduce reliance on medication over time, not to require you to stop immediately. Always consult your doctor or a Sleep Reset clinician before changing any medication routine.

#### Is Sleep Reset for people with insomnia specifically, or general poor sleep?
Both. If you have a clinical insomnia diagnosis, Sleep Reset is built around the same CBT-I methods your doctor would recommend. If you have general poor sleep — difficulty winding down, inconsistent sleep quality, fatigue during the day — the program addresses those patterns too. Additionally, if you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Sleep Reset can help you treat that as well!

#### Can Sleep Reset help with sleep anxiety?
Yes. Sleep anxiety (the cycle of worrying about not sleeping, which then makes it harder to sleep) is one of the most common drivers of chronic insomnia, and it's directly addressed in the Sleep Reset CBT-I based program through cognitive restructuring techniques and stimulus control — core components of CBT-I.

#### Is Sleep Reset appropriate for shift workers or people with irregular schedules?
Yes. Sleep Reset works with you to build a plan around your actual schedule, not an idealized one. Shift workers, frequent travelers, and people with variable work hours are a common use case.

#### What does the Sleep Reset program actually involve?
After an intake assessment about your sleep history and patterns, we build a personalized sleep plan, which typically includes sleep schedule adjustments, stimulus control techniques, relaxation strategies, and cognitive work around sleep beliefs. You check in with your coach daily (which is a premium feature), and the plan is adjusted every 5 days based on your progress.

#### What results can I expect?
Hundreds of thousands of members have already improved their sleep with Sleep Reset’s program! Over 90% of members find Sleep Reset effective at the end of the 28 day program. Sleep Reset members sleep better in weeks, without pills, grogginess, or other side effects. On average, members report 1.5 hours more total sleep time per night, 53% less time needed to fall asleep, and 41% fewer middle-of-the night awakenings.

#### How do I use Sleep Reset?
Start by taking our free expert-designed assessment  [here](https://thesleepreset.com/quiz/improve-your-sleep?utm_source=OrganicWeb) to find out the root causes of your sleep issues or sleep anxiety. You’ll be matched with your dedicated sleep provider (a real human!) who will build your program based on your results. Our program is most effective when used every day to track your sleep, complete your daily sleep lesson, wind down before bed, and communicate with your sleep coach via text. You can access the program via your app on your iOS or Android mobile device.

#### Does Sleep Reset work without a wearable?
Yes. A wearable is not required. The sleep diary within the app is the primary tracking tool — wearables are supplementary.

#### Can I use the program on my desktop computer?
Currently Sleep Reset is only available on iOS and Android mobile devices.

#### Does Sleep Reset test for sleep apnea?
Yes. Sleep Reset offers at-home sleep apnea testing. You don't need to visit a sleep lab or get a referral from your primary care doctor. The test is done in your own home, and Sleep Reset's clinicians review the results and provide a diagnosis.

#### Does Sleep Reset treat sleep apnea?
Yes. Sleep Reset clinicians prescribe and manage CPAP therapy and oral appliances for patients diagnosed with sleep apnea. The full diagnostic and treatment pathway — from testing through treatment — happens within Sleep Reset, without needing to piece together care from multiple providers.
