FAQ

Questions people ask before signing up.

Is this CBT-I?
Insomnia Reset uses CBT-I as one foundation — the cue-response work in Module 3, the cognitive reframing in Module 4. It also draws on ACT for how to relate to the stories that maintain insomnia, and on Angus's clinical experience for the parts CBT-I doesn't cover well (3am thinking, the false dawn, the relationship with tiredness).
Will I have to keep a sleep diary?
No. The program deliberately does not use a nightly diary. For many people with chronic insomnia, watching sleep that closely feeds the hypervigilance that drives the loop. Module 8 includes a weekly meta-question instead — one question, once a week, focused on the new pattern rather than the old one.
Will I have to follow sleep restriction?
No. Sleep restriction (going to bed later to consolidate sleep) works for some people but worsens hyperarousal for others. The program does not require it. The recovery mechanism here is reducing arousal — the sleep timing handles itself once arousal comes down.
How long does it take to see results?
Most people see meaningful change in 4–8 weeks of working through the program. Some patterns shift faster; some take longer. The 12-month access is deliberately long so you can move at the pace life allows.
Do I need any equipment?
No. The PMR audio plays in any browser; the cheat sheet and worry-postponement card are printable PDFs. No app to install. No tracker to wear.
Will it work if I'm also on sleep medication?
Yes. The program does not ask you to stop medication — that's a conversation for you and your prescriber. Many people use the program alongside medication and gradually find they need less of it. Module 4 contains optional lectures specifically for medication-related beliefs, if that's part of your pattern.
Is there a refund policy?
30 days, no questions asked. If the program is not what you needed, write to us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full.
Is this suitable if I have sleep apnoea?
Insomnia Reset is for chronic insomnia. If you have untreated sleep apnoea, restless legs, narcolepsy, or another sleep-related medical condition, please work with a sleep specialist — the program can support that work but does not replace it.
