About Somly

Somly offers a six-week CBTI program based on research and clinical practice. Over the course of our program, you will come to understand the science of your sleep.
Our board-credentialed sleep coaches guide you through the process of changing your thoughts around sleep, teach you how to identify the internal and external factors that rob you of rest, and help you to retrain your brain to discover its drive for sleep.

The Somly service is $549. This includes consultations with your specialist, texts and emails, as well as our money-back, satisfaction guarantee.

The Somly program is approximately six weeks long.

The core of the Somly program is one-on-one discussions with your sleep coach – no bots or self-guided treatments. At Somly, the treatment program is based on your individual situation and is customized to fit your sleep needs.

About Treatment

At Somly, we use a goal oriented process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (often referred to as CBTI). The first week, you will fill out a daily electronic sleep diary, then meet with your coach to discuss a treatment plan and watch a few videos to familiarize yourself with insomnia and how it affects you.
The best part of the Somly program is that you talk directly with your live sleep coach—there are no bots or self-guided treatments with Somly. Once enrolled, you will have texts, emails and calls with your sleep specialist.
We’ve found that the personalized interaction with our coaches is what sets Somly apart and creates success for our clients.

If you have trouble with sleep, our goal is to have you sleeping within 30 minutes of going to bed. If you’re up in the middle of the night, the goal is to have you back to sleep within 15 minutes. In the morning, your alarm should remind you to wake up three-to-four days a week. This means you should be waking up 15 to 30 minutes before the alarm, and falling in and out of light sleep until your alarm reminds you to wake up. 

We use a goal oriented process known as CBTI – short for cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. It has been shown to be the most effective, long-term treatment for insomnia with a 94% satisfaction rate.

Never. Somly is a non-pharmaceutical based program. If you are on medications to help with your insomnia, you should speak with your physician – especially if you would like to stop taking your sleep medication during our program. The vast majority of our clients are on medications when they start the Somly program. By the time our clients complete their treatment with Somly, most no longer need medicine to help them sleep.

All Somly sleep coaches are board-credentialed in the field of sleep by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Additionally, each of our specialists currently works in a sleep lab, or has done so in the past. Every Somly sleep coach has also been trained in CBTI.
