Simple Habit, the meditation app with more than five million users, announced the launch of its new product, Sleep Reset — a digital program to help people get better sleep.

Sleep Reset utilizes clinically proven methods to uncover and address the root cause of one’s sleep issues through its iPhone and Android apps. The expert-designed program improves sleep and reduces sleep anxiety with the most effective methods from top-tier sleep clinics, including strategies based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) – available for the first time from the comfort of home.

After launching Simple Habit in 2017, the company started working on Sleep Reset in stealth mode in 2020 after uncovering from user data that sleep was the primary problem that users of their meditation app struggled with.

Sleep Reset’s program was developed in partnership with sleep experts from top sleep clinics and universities, including the University of Arizona, the University of Minnesota, and the Stanford University Sleep Medicine Center.

“Good sleep is at the core of good health. Beyond mental health, it’s important for cardiovascular health, weight management, a strong immune system, and preventing diabetes,” said says Michael Grandner, MD, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic at the Banner-University Medical Center, and Sleep Reset scientific advisor. “Before Sleep Reset, getting personalized strategies for improving sleep required getting diagnosed with a sleep disorder and having to go to a clinic to meet with a doctor. Now, anyone can get access to tools and techniques to improve their sleep health.”

Sleep Reset’s mission is to provide a life-long, sustainable solution to sleep better after just 12 weeks, with no pills or melatonin needed. While in beta for the past sixteen months, Sleep Reset has already helped thousands of people improve their sleep. One survey of members who completed the program found that nine in 10 reported improved sleep with no grogginess or side effects. According to data from their Sleep Logs, Sleep Reset beta users reported, on average:

  • 88 minutes increase in total sleep time per night
  • 52% less time needed to fall asleep
  • 48% less time spent awake in the middle of the night
  • three fewer nighttime awakenings per night

Moreover, of beta users who reported taking sleeping pills or melatonin at the start of the program, nearly half were able to stop taking them by the end of the program.

How Sleep Reset works:

  • First, you take a detailed assessment to uncover the root causes of your sleep issues and/or sleep anxiety.
  • Then, you are matched with a personal sleep coach who builds your customized 12-week program and provides guidance and support.
  • Lastly, the Sleep Reset program helps you improve your sleep with clinically-proven techniques from top sleep clinics, including many based on CBT-I.
