If this sounds familiar

You've probably already tried everything on this list.

  • Wide awake at 2 or 3 AM, doing math on how many hours are left
  • Dreading bedtime because you already know how the night will go
  • Melatonin, blackout curtains, and sleep hygiene tips that stopped working months ago
  • A prescription that helps until you try to stop taking it
  • Months-long waitlists for an in-person CBT-I therapist
  • Meditation apps that were built for stress, not for insomnia

None of that is a failure on your part — it's that most sleep advice treats insomnia as a habit problem instead of the physiological one it actually is. CBT-I is the exception: it's the only treatment with decades of clinical evidence behind it, and the only one built to retrain how your brain and body respond to bed in the first place. Somnera exists to make that treatment available at 11 PM on a Tuesday, not six months from now on a therapist's waitlist.

How it works

Five steps to sleep that actually works.

01

Get your personalized program

Start with a clinically validated Insomnia Severity Index assessment, and Somnera builds a CBT-I plan around your score — sleep restriction, stimulus control, and cognitive work, sequenced across roughly six to eight weeks based on your severity.

Check in on your sleep difficulty score

Periodic check-ins retake the assessment and plot your sleep difficulty score over time, so improvement is something you can point to, not just something you hope you're feeling.

Outcomes

Real behavioral change, not a band-aid.

Fall asleep faster

Stimulus control and sleep restriction retrain your brain's association between bed and sleep — most users see faster sleep onset within two weeks.

Wake up clearer

Consistent, efficient sleep — not just more hours — is what improves next-day focus, mood, and energy.

Build lasting habits

CBT-I teaches durable behavioral skills, not a dependency. The gains are designed to hold after the program ends.

The science

CBT-I isn't alternative medicine. It's the standard.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia — ahead of medication.

Sleep medication can quiet a bad night, but it doesn't retrain the habits and thought patterns that caused the insomnia in the first place — which is why relapse after stopping is common. CBT-I works on those root causes directly, so the gains tend to hold long after the program ends.

What CBT-I actually involves

Sleep restriction therapy

Temporarily limits time in bed to match your actual average sleep time, which builds sleep pressure and consolidates fragmented sleep into one solid block. It sounds counterintuitive — less time in bed to get more sleep — but it's the single most effective component of CBT-I.

Stimulus control

Rebuilds the mental association between your bed and sleep, rather than bed and wakeful frustration. In practice: getting out of bed when you can't sleep, and only returning when you're actually drowsy.

Cognitive restructuring

Targets the anxious thought spirals that keep the nervous system activated at bedtime — the 3 AM math about how many hours are left, the dread of another bad night. This is the piece most self-help sleep advice skips entirely.

Who's behind the program

A real, board-certified physician

Board-certified in Sleep Medicine

“Most of my patients had already tried everything before they got to my office — and most of what they'd tried was never going to work, because it wasn't treating the actual mechanism behind their insomnia. I built Somnera so people don't have to wait months for an appointment to start the treatment that actually helps.”

Placeholder bio — final credentials and practice history to be provided before launch. Our clinical lead is a board-certified sleep physician who leads the clinical design of every assessment, lesson, and program milestone in Somnera, ensuring the app reflects the same CBT-I protocol used in in-person practice.

★★★★★

I'd tried melatonin, blackout curtains, every trick on the internet. The sleep restriction week was rough, but by week four I was falling asleep in under fifteen minutes for the first time in years.

What sold me was that it didn't feel like a wellness app guessing at advice — the program is literally built around the ISI score, and it adjusts as you go.

J

J. Whitfield

I was skeptical CBT-I could work as well as my in-person sessions did, but tracking every night made it obvious when things were actually improving.

R

The nightly log takes maybe thirty seconds. Easiest habit I've kept in years, and the weekly lessons actually explain the why instead of just telling me what to do.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

No. Somnera delivers CBT-I education and coaching based on principles designed by a board-certified sleep physician, but it isn't a diagnostic tool and doesn't replace medical care. If you have a suspected sleep disorder or persistent symptoms, please see a licensed physician.

Your sleep logs and assessment answers are used only to personalize your program and are handled with strict data-privacy practices. We never sell your personal health information.

Somnera is currently a self-pay program, priced well below typical in-person CBT-I. Some customers use HSA/FSA funds — check with your provider for eligibility.

Most users notice improvements in sleep onset and quality within two to three weeks, with the full 8-week program producing the most durable gains. Consistency with the nightly log matters more than any single night.

Somnera can be used alongside medication, but any changes to your prescriptions should be made with your prescribing physician — never adjust medication based on the app alone.

A few short weekly lessons (5-10 minutes each), a nightly sleep log that takes under a minute, and an updated program each week based on how your sleep efficiency is trending. No live sessions to schedule, no homework beyond the log.

Yes — if you've engaged with the program and it isn't a fit, reach out within the first 14 days for a full refund on the one-time plan, or cancel the monthly plan anytime with no further charges.
