Sleep Reset vs CBT-i Coach

They differ on 9 of 10 things we check. No winner here: the better one is the one that fits what you need and how you'd pay.

Sleep Reset

You take a sleep assessment, then follow short daily CBT-I lessons in the app, keep a sleep diary and message a human sleep coach for guidance.

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.
