What is insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or both.
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. You might lie awake for hours, wake up multiple times during the night, or find yourself wide awake at 3AM unable to fall back asleep.
This can go on for weeks, months, or even years — leaving you exhausted, foggy, and increasingly anxious about sleep itself.
Common insomnia symptoms
Recognizing the signs is the first step toward better sleep.

Insomnia is common and treatable
Millions live with chronic insomnia, but CBT-i can change that.
Up to 1 in 3 adults struggle with insomnia symptoms. But here's what matters: insomnia is highly treatable with CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia).
This structured program helps you change the thoughts and behaviors keeping you awake — retraining your brain to associate bed with sleep, not stress. It's more effective than pills for long-term relief, with results that last even after treatment ends.
Our approach
How Dreem Health makes insomnia treatment simple
Get the right diagnosis and connect with expert care.
1. Meet your sleep practitioner
A virtual visit where your specialist takes time to understand your symptoms, discuss your sleep history, and determine if a sleep study is needed.
2. Check for underlying sleep disorders
If recommended, we'll send you a home sleep test. Sometimes insomnia symptoms are caused by — or coexist with — conditions like sleep apnea.
3. Get the right treatment
We'll connect you with a CBT-i specialist for insomnia, or guide you through treatment if another sleep disorder is found.
