The Problem
Wide awake at 3am — again.
You've tried everything. The melatonin. The white noise. The no-screens-before-bed rule. Maybe even the sleeping pills that left you groggy and dependent.
Here's what nobody tells you: chronic insomnia isn't a chemical imbalance you medicate away. It's a learned pattern of thoughts and behaviors around sleep — and learned patterns can be unlearned.
The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia — ahead of any medication. Not as a last resort. First.
A Natural Path Forward
Drug-free,
completely.
No prescriptions. No dependency risk. No morning fog. CBT-I works by retraining your brain's relationship with sleep — at its root.
No Dependency
Breaks free from the pill cycle
Sleeping pills can create rebound insomnia when stopped. CBT-I builds genuine sleep ability — so your sleep improves even after the program ends.
Wake Up Clear
Alert mornings, every morning
No sedative hangover. Your sleep drive works as it should — deep, restorative, and naturally timed.
The Name
"Good sleep" — a promise, not just a name.

The Method
Five evidence-based techniques
Sleep Scheduling & Restriction
We temporarily consolidate your sleep into a tight, consistent window — building strong sleep pressure and resetting your body clock. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's the fastest way to deep, restorative sleep.
Stimulus Control
Your brain may have learned to associate the bed with wakefulness and worry. Stimulus control re-wires that association — rebuilding the bed as a powerful cue for deep, reliable sleep.
Cognitive Restructuring
Racing thoughts at 2am aren't random — they're often driven by anxious beliefs about sleep. We help you identify and gently challenge those beliefs, so your mind stops fighting sleep and starts welcoming it.
Relaxation Training
Practical, evidence-based techniques — breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery — that calm your nervous system and prepare your body for rest.
Sleep Hygiene & Education
Beyond the basics. We cut through conflicting advice and give you a clear, personalized picture of the habits, environment, and rhythms that support your specific sleep pattern.
Why Sunidra
Different by design
A program, not a tracker
Most sleep apps track your sleep and leave you to figure out the rest. Sunidra gives you a structured, evolving program — each week building on the last — guided by the same principles clinicians use.
STRUCTURED · PROGRESSIVE · CLINICAL
Personalized to you
Your schedule, your patterns, your sleep history. The program adapts as your sleep improves.
On your schedule
Asynchronous, self-paced, and designed to fit real life — not a rigid clinical protocol.
Built to set you free
The goal is to need Sunidra less and less. We design the program so your sleep becomes self-sustaining — you graduate, and the improvement stays.
How It Works
Three steps to reclaiming your sleep
Tell us about your sleep
A short, clinically-validated intake questionnaire maps your sleep patterns, history, and goals. No guesswork.
Follow your plan
Sunidra builds a personalized CBT-I program for you — weekly check-ins, nightly guidance, and gentle nudges that evolve as you improve.
Sleep and keep sleeping
As your sleep consolidates and strengthens, you'll need the app less and less. That's the point. Your sleep becomes yours again.
