Insomnia Coach vs CBT-i Coach
They differ on 1 of 10 things we check. No winner here: the better one is the one that fits what you need and how you'd pay.
Insomnia Coach
You follow a five-week plan based on CBT-I: log your sleep each day, get feedback, and try one new sleep tool at a time.
CBT-i Coach
CBT-i Coach gives you a sleep diary, help setting a sleep schedule, sleep education and relaxation exercises, based on CBT for insomnia.
Where they differ
- Good for
- Insomnia Coach: Adults with ongoing trouble falling or staying asleep who want to try CBT-I on their own; Veterans and service members, though anyone can use it
- CBT-i Coach: People doing CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) with a clinician who want a sleep diary and tools; Veterans and others with insomnia who want a free, no-account CBT-I toolkit
The same for both: kind of help (an app i use on my own), probably not for (anyone in crisis: call or text 988 (veterans press 1)), cost (free), how you pay (free), where (iphone, android), research (some research support), privacy (grade a+), sells your data (no), hipaa (no).
In crisis or thinking about suicide? In the US, call or text 988. This page is information from our reviews, not medical advice.
