Our sleep programs are rooted in science

We help people with sleep issues using an evidence-based method called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I. Our programs treat the underlying causes of insomnia through sleep consolidation, stimulus control therapy, and cognitive restructuring. We also teach you how to decrease hyperarousal and hypervigilance before sleep.

Rigorous clinical sleep programs proven to work

Based on proven methods

Our programs use clinically proven methods, such as cognitive behavioural therapy to identify and change negative thoughts and behaviours that affect sleep, as well as mental imagery rehearsal therapy for the treatment of nightmares. These methods have been shown to be safer and more effective than sleep medication.

Meticulously structured

Our programs last for 3 to 5 weeks and include weekly 30-minute sessions with a licensed therapist. These sessions cover a range of strategies, such as sleep tracking, managing the time you spend in bed, controlling things that can keep you awake, and exercises to help you relax your body and mind for sleep.
You can also access extra resources and articles through the HALEO mobile app.

Tailored to specific needs

Our programs are made to help with issues like insomnia, poor sleep quality, shift work-related sleep difficulties, nightmares, or sleep challenges related to being a new parent.

Fast, long-lasting results

People who use our programs and follow the recommended strategies often start sleeping better by the third week of therapy. Unlike medication, these results can last a lifetime.
