I’ve struggled with insomnia for years. It first started from work stress. It then evolved into an ongoing issue as I started going through menopause. My hormones changed, family and work issues piled up, and my sleep continued to get worse. I was desperate for a remedy.  

I experimented with different sleep solutions, from common fixes like not drinking coffee in the afternoon, to using blackout curtains and white noise machines, and even religiously tracking my sleep with wearable trackers. But, none of them really worked … until I heard about Sleep Reset. My coworker recommended Sleep Reset to me after she read about the benefits of the cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and saw that Sleep Reset was developed by doctors from Stanford and Yale. I was skeptical at first, but Sleep Reset changed my doubt into belief. It completely turned my sleepless nights around. 

Tackles My Insomnia… and Then Some

Insomnia became a constant part of my life, but I never understood why. Sleeping pills helped me fall asleep sometimes, but I still woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I had so much anxiety and stress that came along with losing sleep.

Sleeping pills didn’t help me deal with my stress and anxiety. I bought an Oura Ring, but that only showed me how much sleep I wasn’t getting and stressed me out even more. Sleep Reset’s CBT-I helped me to tackle my sleep issues head-on. 

I was familiar with CBT-I, but I wasn’t expecting how Sleep Reset would use it to personalize a treatment for me. Since it’s an app, I was expecting a one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, I completed a comprehensive sleep evaluation, and Sleep Reset recommended a customized sleep improvement plan. I felt like all areas of my sleep issues were accounted for — even how to address menopause symptoms that were impacting my sleep . 

Retrains My Brain & Body to Sleep

It wasn’t until Sleep Reset that I learned how some of the small things I was doing were impacting my sleep quality. I also learned cool techniques that are clinically proven but not well known (like holding ice in the middle of the night!) that were really effective in helping me fall back asleep. 

CBT-I helped me develop a new sleep schedule, so I can sleep faster and sleep deeper. 

No More Sleeping Pills

I’ve never been a pill person. Of the few times I’ve taken pills, they left me so groggy the next morning. I didn’t feel like my normal self. One of the biggest things that drew me to CBT-I was that it is pill-free and helped me sleep better naturally, without any lingering side effects

Sleep Reset uses CBT-I to get to the root causes of my sleeping issues instead of masking my symptoms with sleeping pills. I was able to implement strategies to solve them for good so I can sleep without the need for pills.  Now I don’t have to worry about the risky side effects or becoming addicted to them.

I was able to create routines and habits that allowed me to relax and get a good night’s sleep, without the need of sleeping pills. I also learned how to reduce my anxiety for a more long-term change.

Personalized Plan with Real Coaches

In my journey to fix my insomnia, I felt no one could really help. My doctor’s didn’t really care to dig into why I was suffering from insomnia and were only giving me surface level tips or offering to prescribe me medications.

Sleep Reset assigned me a human sleep coach who provided me with weekly plans through their mobile app. If I felt insomnia creeping back in, I had a dedicated sleep expert who would help adjust my sleep schedule to get back on track. My coach challenged me to ask myself direct questions about my sleeping habits. I learned strategies to deal with situations that impacted my sleep. Within just a few weeks, I developed new habits that stopped me from waking up at 3 a.m. and helped me become the best version of myself. 

Bottom Line

I never thought the day would come when I could say this, but sleep comes much easier for me now. I can finally ditch the meds and trackers. Through Sleep Reset and their sleep coaches, I have a better sleep routine, I’m sleeping through the night, and I have more energy throughout the day. With better sleep, I am a better mom, wife and co-worker, and a version of myself that is happy and well-rested.
