How does somnio work?
somnio is based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is widely regarded as the "gold standard" for insomnia treatment and is recommended even before the use of sleeping medications. Our digital sleep expert Albert will guide you through the entire program of somnio. He provides detailed and easily understandable explanations in the 12 sequential modules of the application.
The central tool of sleep training with somnio is the sleep journal (consisting of an evening and morning log), which is used to continuously analyze the development of your sleep quality (bedtime, sleep time, and sleep efficiency).
