Sleep Reset is a digital sleep improvement program that employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) techniques to help individuals manage insomnia without medication. The program is designed as a structured, non-pharmacological intervention and is informed by research from institutions such as Stanford University. It aims to provide an alternative to traditional sleep medications, leveraging scientifically validated behavioral techniques to improve sleep quality.
Background
[edit]Insomnia is a common sleep disorder affecting approximately 10–30% of the global population, with chronic cases often leading to cognitive impairment, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and other health issues.[1] Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is recognized as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and other health organizations.[2] However, access to in-person CBT-I therapy is limited, leading to the development of digital and app-based solutions like Sleep Reset.
Program Structure
[edit]Sleep Reset is structured as a multi-week, personalized sleep coaching program designed to address the behavioral and cognitive aspects of insomnia. The program follows the core principles of CBT-I.
Sleep Restriction Therapy (SRT)
[edit]SRT is a technique aimed at increasing sleep efficiency by initially reducing time spent in bed and gradually extending it as sleep improves.[3]
Stimulus Control Therapy (SCT)
[edit]SCT encourages behavioral changes such as going to bed only when sleepy and getting out of bed if unable to sleep.[4]
Relaxation Techniques
[edit]Relaxation techniques include guided relaxation, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation to reduce sleep-disrupting arousal.[5]
Sleep Hygiene Education
[edit]This includes guidelines on optimizing sleep environments and behaviors, such as limiting caffeine intake, avoiding screen exposure before bedtime, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.[6] Participants in Sleep Reset undergo an initial sleep assessment, followed by a tailored intervention plan. Sleep logs and real-time progress tracking are used to refine strategies over time.
Clinical Effectiveness
[edit]CBT-I-based digital interventions have been widely studied and found to be effective for insomnia treatment. Sleep Reset follows methodologies similar to those validated in clinical trials. A meta-analysis of digital CBT-I programs found that they led to significant improvements in sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency, comparable to in-person therapy.[7]
Specific outcomes reported for Sleep Reset users include an average increase of 85 minutes in total sleep time per night, a 50% reduction in the time taken to fall asleep and the frequency of nighttime awakenings.[8] These findings align with broader research demonstrating the long-term benefits of CBT-I, with sustained sleep improvements lasting beyond the treatment period.[9]
Reception and Adoption
[edit]The Sleep Reset program has been used by over 30,000 participants and is endorsed by sleep specialists and healthcare providers. It is particularly recommended for individuals seeking an alternative to pharmacological sleep aids, which can have side effects such as dependency, cognitive impairment, and increased risk of dementia in older adults.[10]
