Frequently Asked Questions

What is the success rate?

Our current program success rate is 97%

Our entire holistic philosophy is built around one question: “What is going to get our clients the best results?” We will expect you to commit to the program and 100% follow the recommendations step-by-step.

After The Program, Clients:

– Have no more sleep anxiety aka “bed dread” – a root cause of chronic insomnia
– Fall asleep faster (within half an hour)
– Spends <20 minutes awake during the night (if at all)
– Enjoy 6-8 hours of refreshing sleep each night
– Has an average sleep efficiency (time in bed actually asleep) of 87-92%

Note: The 3% this program didn’t work for are those who found out they had an underlying undiagnosed medical issue preventing them from sleep (such as M.S, overactive thyroid, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.)

How is this different from what I’ve tried?

Our program goes way beyond just helping you improve your sleep hygiene (the long lists of to-do’s that experts say will improve your sleep) and it even goes way beyond traditional CBT-I programs.

What makes our programs so effective and unique is rather than giving clients a cookie-cutter one-dimensional program, we offer a holistic science-based step-by-step proven process that addresses both the mind and the body and guarantees results.

While sleeping medication can help address the physical aspects of insomnia and traditional CBT-I programs can be effective for addressing some of the mental aspects, we’ve found that addressing the symptoms with sleeping aids or taking a one-dimensional mental approach like CBT-I isn’t always the fastest or best approach.

It takes a holistic multi-dimensional approach that addresses the root causes of insomnia to get lasting results which is why all of our trained sleep coaches are also certified holistic health coaches that have a deep understanding of all aspects of wellness.

Our program is inspired by the following evidence-based research.

  • ​Mindfulness
  • NLP and neuro-semantic techniques
  • ​Cognitive defusion techniques
  • ​CBT-I techniques
  • ​Acceptance therapy techniques
  • ​Positive psychology strategies
  • ​Sleep physiology strategies
  • ​Chronotherapy techniques
  • ​Sleep hygiene strategies
  • Sleep Science

Sound complex? Don’t worry we make it simple.
It’s the world’s most comprehensive, sleep program that will help you make counterintuitive changes which leads to a lifetime of great sleep. Unlike medications, the Insomnia Solution doesn’t wear off when your prescription runs out. The program is built by an expert and backed by science.

Is this different from cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)?

Our programs combine cutting-edge sleep education and expert sleep coaching using the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy* for insomnia (CBT-I), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness as well as many other proven effective sleep-promoting techniques to help our clients solve their insomnia by treating the root cause vs treating only insomnia symptoms.

*Research has repeatedly shown that just CBT-I to be safer, longer-lasting, and at least as effective as any sleep medication. In fact, current clinical guidelines strongly recommend that doctors prescribe CBT-I as the first-line treatment for insomnia.* CBT-I is recommended as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American College of Physicians, and the European Sleep Research Society.

Again our program goes way beyond CBT-I making it the most effective and comprehensive solution currently available. Over the course of 8-weeks clients are coached to utilize core behavior change principles based on extensive scientific research on the behavioral management of insomnia and in motivational change. Below is 7 ways Sleep Science Academy is unique from CBT-I.

#1

A traditional CBT-I sleep therapist will have you utilize a sleep diary to implement sleep restriction. This isn’t effective for two reasons.

  1. It’s totally subjective and inaccurate because of sleep misperception*
  2. It creates more arousal because of clock watching

At Sleep Science Academy we leverage the most accurate sleep-tracking device (the Oura Ring) so you don’t have to clock watch and sleep misperception* isn’t an issue.

*Sleep Misperception For people with insomnia, lighter stages of sleep (stages 1 & 2) can feel like no sleep at all. This has been validated through many studies and is sometimes referred to as “paradoxical insomnia.” Perception of time and amount of sleep are skewed for those dealing with insomnia.

Also, not all of our clients implement sleep restriction as part of their program. We tailor our program to the person and sleep restriction isn’t always necessary, needed or the best approach in our experience.

#2

Sleep Science Academy is the only company to utilize Dynamic Sleep Recalibrating (DSR). Dynamic Sleep Recalibrating (DSR) is a system that permanently eliminates chronic insomnia by reprograming conditioned hyperarousal patterns through awareness exercises and nervous system destimulation techniques while increasing sleep drive. In simple terms, this translates to retraining your mind that your bed and bedroom are a place of safety and sleep vs. stress and anxiety through psychological understanding and relaxation techniques while increasing your body’s natural drive to sleep. Through DSR, you will learn to listen to your body and uncover the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that are keeping your body from letting sleep happen vs. attempting to force sleep. Just like once you learn how to ride a bike, you don’t forget the DSRS approach is the very same way. Once you learn the Dynamic Sleep Recalibrating tools, it’s a lifelong sleep solution.

#3

Sleep Science Academy is not covered by insurance and this is a good thing because paying makes you pay attention. Also CBT-I therapists that are covered by insurance are hard to find, usually overworked and probably not sleeping well themselves.

#4

Sleep Science Academy is conducted completely from the comfort of your home. You don’t have to drive to an office to do our program.

#5

Sleep Science Academy includes both 1:1 coaching AND group coaching. With CBT-I programs you are often just 1:1 with a therapist and don’t gain the valuable insight of being apart of a community of people working together toward the same goal.

#6

Sleep Science Academy guarantees results. CBT-I programs don’t guarantee results or have a money-back policy if it doesn’t work.

#7

At Sleep Science Academy we see chronic insomnia as a 24-hour disorder and not just a nighttime disorder. Because of this all of our coaches are also health/life coaches that look at how all aspects of your health and life affect your sleep.
