Care & Treatment

How do I get treatment from Dreem Health?

You’ll start with a video appointment with a sleep specialist, who’ll talk through your symptoms and medical history. If a sleep test is needed, we’ll send it to your home — no lab required. Once your results are in, your doctor will explain what’s going on and recommend the right treatment. We’ll help you get started and follow up to make sure things are working.

What treatment options do you provide?

Our clinic and our network of partners work hand-in-hand to deliver an expansive suite of treatment choices, designed to fit your unique needs. These include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i): the gold standard treatment for insomnia, recommended by the American Sleep Association and other medical experts including the American College of Physicians (ACP). CBT-i is a non- pharmacological treatment focused on education and behavior modification. It harnesses mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, and aligns your sleep/wake cycle with your natural circadian rhythm.
  • Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy: the gold standard treatment for sleep apnea. It involves wearing a small nasal mask throughout the night. Linked to a machine that pushes lightly pressurized air, the mask keeps your airways open and prevents sleep apnea from occurring. Your sleep is restored and you can get your overall health back on track.
  • Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD): this is a type of oral appliance that looks like a mouthguard. Wearing a MAD while you sleep keeps your lower jawbone in a forward position. This expands your airway, helping you breathe better throughout the night. MAD is the first choice treatment for mild forms of sleep apnea.
  • Other: In addition to PAP therapy, CBT-i and oral appliances, we offer alternative treatment options such as positional therapy, weight loss, or even surgical options with our network of providers.

*Circadian rhythm is your body’s 24 hour rhythm, making you feel tired or alert at regular times of the night and day.

Do you prescribe medication?

Yes. Our providers may prescribe non-controlled medications when clinically appropriate. All prescribing decisions are made by your licensed provider based on your individual medical evaluation and treatment plan. Your well-being is our top priority. Please note that we do not prescribe controlled substances like Adderall, Ambien, or Xyrem.

Do you manage prescription refills?

If you are a patient of the clinic, we will take care of your prescription refills. Make sure to reach out to your provider via the Dreem Health app for more information.

Will I need a CPAP machine?

If you’re diagnosed with sleep apnea and your provider recommends CPAP therapy, we’ll get you set up. In many states, we now offer CPAP treatment directly through Dreem Health. If you’re outside those areas, we’ll connect you with a trusted DME (durable medical equipment) partner who will help you find the right machine and manage shipping.

What CPAP machines do you use?

We primarily work with ResMed devices, known for comfort and reliability.

What if something goes wrong with my CPAP machine?

If your CPAP device was delivered through a DME partner, they’re your best point of contact for support or troubleshooting. Here are their direct lines:

If you’re using Dreem Health’s in-house CPAP program, just reach out through the app and our team will help right away.

What kind of results can I expect?

That depends on your diagnosis, your body, and the treatment approach that’s right for you. During your first appointment, your provider will walk you through what to expect — and will stay with you through follow-ups to make sure you’re on track.
