somnio’s approach to treatment

Effective therapy, right at your fingertips

somnio is your direct gateway to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) — the proven gold standard for treating chronic sleep disorders. Step by step, you’ll learn how to tackle thoughts, behaviors, and habits that keep you awake — and replace them with ones that help you sleep better.

somnio will help you break free from the vicious cycle of nighttime rumination, frustration over poor sleep, and constant exhaustion. Whether on your smartphone or PC, somnio fits seamlessly into your daily routine — flexible, easy to use, and at your own pace. For restful sleep that’s sustainable and drug-free.

All somnio modules explained in detail

Your effective path to better sleep

At the beginning of sleep training, you’ll be asked to provide details about your current sleep habits and the extent of your sleep difficulties.

To continuously track your sleep patterns, the sleep journal is introduced in the second module. It's designed to help you record your bedtime, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency every morning and evening.

This module provides evidence-based insights into the science of sleep. It helps build a better understanding, corrects common misconceptions, and helps reduce sleep-related anxieties.

The sleep knowledge you’ve gained so far will be actively applied and reinforced through a variety of exercises, helping you integrate the new insights into your everyday life.

You’ll learn what insomnia actually is, what causes it, and why it can be so persistent. In addition, you’ll create your personal "vicious cycle of insomnia" diagram to faithfully represent your own experience.

This module emphasizes the importance of a consistent sleep-wake rhythm. You’ll learn why restricting time in bed is a key treatment strategy for sleep onset and maintenance difficulties. Based on your sleep diary data and your chronotype test results, a personalized sleep window will be proposed. The digital sleep coach will also address common concerns, as sleep restriction can be challenging for many.

This module introduces effective relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), which has proven especially helpful in reducing the time it takes to fall asleep.

Here, you’ll learn about the many factors that can positively or negatively impact your sleep (often referred to as “sleep hygiene rules”). Misconceptions will be addressed, and the digital sleep coach will help you integrate sleep-promoting behaviors into your daily routine. This module also covers stimulus control techniques — strategies for strengthening the bed-sleep connection, such as using the bed only for sleeping.

The goal of this module is to identify sleep-interfering thoughts and practice a healthier way of responding to them. Through cognitive restructuring, unrealistic expectations and false beliefs about sleep and insomnia are examined and modified.

This module focuses on so-called safety behaviors often seen in people with insomnia, such as constantly checking the time. Together, you’ll explore healthier strategies to reduce these behaviors and lower anxiety in the long run.

At the end of your sleep therapy journey, you’ll receive a comprehensive review of what you’ve learned and can reinforce your knowledge through a quiz.

After completing the core CBT-I modules, your progress will continue to be monitored. Key sleep parameters and insomnia symptoms will be re-evaluated at regular intervals.
