A doctor’s prescription is required for access.
What can I expect from somnio?
Many people know the feeling: sleep just won’t come. And the more you long for it, the longer it takes. But difficulties with falling asleep and staying asleep don’t have to be your constant companion.
Effective treatment methods can help people get back to a good night’s sleep. The German Sleep Society recommends the scientifically well-studied cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (KVT-I). The content of somnio is based on these methods.
- Keep an intelligent sleep journal
- Optimise your sleep times
- Handle racing thoughts and worries
- Use tailored relaxation exercises
- Set and pursue personal sleep goals
- Synchronise with fitness tracking devices (optional)
Albert, the digital sleep expert
In somnio, Albert, the digital sleep expert, is here to help – a smart companion, based on an intelligent algorithm developed by sleep researchers. With his support, you complete several modules during which Albert will ask you relevant questions, impart essential knowledge about sleep and help you optimise your sleep behavior.
With your responses and the data from the sleep journal, Albert creates a personalized training program that helps you achieve your sleep goals – whether it’s falling asleep faster or reducing the number of awake phases during the night.
Who benefits from the sleep training?
somnio can offer you support if you suffer from insomnia.
Insomnia is characterized by one or more of the following core symptoms:
Problems falling asleep
You are tossing and turning in bed, your thoughts are racing, and you can't fall asleep.
Problems remaining asleep
You keep waking up at night and it takes you some time to fall asleep again.
Waking up too early
You wake up very early in the morning, long before you were supposed to get up. You try to go back to sleep, but you stay awake.
Clinical proof of efficacy
The medical benefit of somnio with positive care effect was demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial.
The study showed that insomnia symptoms could be reduced by 50% in users of the digital sleep training. In addition, the time spent awake at night was significantly reduced in the intervention group.
The effects were also stable in a 12-month follow-up study.

"Health apps that have demonstrated a positive care effect can be reimbursed by the statutory health insurance system as an "app on prescription" after appropriate testing. We hope that these new options can support us in helping our patients even better than before."
Prof. Dr. med. Christoph SchöbelHead of the Center for Sleep and Telemedicine at the Ruhrland Clinic of the University Medical Center Essen 
"In our 24-hour nonstop society, many people suffer from sleep disorders that require treatment. Today, we consider cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, with its self-efficacious techniques, to be a first-line therapy for insomnia in many cases. Digital health apps like somnio can help make these effective techniques widely available in the field of sleep medicine."
Dr. Hans-Günter WeeßBoard member of the German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine and Head of the interdisciplinary sleep center at the Pfalzklinikum in Klingenmünster

Personal data is processed and stored only for medical purposes and with your explicit consent.
The data is stored exclusively on servers in Germany, and we do not use American providers as a matter of principle.
