Understanding re:sleep’s approach to sleep retraining

What is re:sleep and how can it help you overcome your sleep problem?

Updated over 7 months ago

re:sleep takes a unique and personalised approach drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, community support and many other factors focusing on long-term, sustainable sleep improvements. Let's dive into how re:sleep works!

What is CBT-I?

- CBT-I is a well-established, evidence-based treatment specifically designed to tackle insomnia by addressing the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to maintained poor sleep. Unlike general sleep hygiene tips, CBT-I focuses on changing the underlying patterns that cause insomnia. CBT-I also differs from general CBT as it focuses on sleep-specific behaviours and cognition.

How re:sleep Personalizes CBT-I:

- At re:sleep, we understood the struggles people faced with one-size-fits-all programs which didn't take into account their individual needs. That's why we developed re:sleep to cater to you, your specific sleep issues, your lifestyle, your health, your environment and so much more. We also know how important ongoing personalisation is, so your program will be adapted to your progress throughout, providing you with the right tools and techniques at the right time for you.

Human Support and Expert Guidance:

- re:sleep is not just about following a digital program on your own as we know how hard it can be to reach your goals this way. We provide weekly live clinic sessions with industry-leading sleep and insomnia experts who offer personalised advice, answer your questions, and help you stay on track. You’ll also have access to a supportive care team and a community of peers who understand what you’re going through.

Beyond Sleep Hygiene:

- We understand the frustration of trying countless "fixes" for sleep which ultimately leave you feeling disappointed and like you are the problem. We're here to tell you - you're not! It is these so-called "fixes" which have no scientific evidence to show they fix long-term insomnia. While things like sleep hygiene (e.g., avoiding caffeine or creating a calming bedtime routine) can sometimes help in the short-term, they cannot tackle all of the components of insomnia which are necessary to overcome it for good. re:sleep goes deeper by addressing all the cognitive and behavioral aspects of broken sleep, such as reducing sleep anxiety, increasing your sleep drive, lowering hypersensitivity and fixing your broken sleep program.

Evidence-Based and Effective:

- Our approach is grounded only in scientific research and clinical expertise. The techniques you’ll learn are proven to be effective in not only improving sleep but also preventing relapse. This means you’ll not only sleep better during the program but also maintain those improvements for good.

The key to success with sleep retraining is consistency. Stick with the program, engage with the resources, and give yourself time to adjust. The changes you make now will help you improve your sleep for life! We’re here to support you every step of the way and help you get the restful sleep you deserve.
