CBT-i Coach

CBT-i Coach is for people who are engaged in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia with a health provider, or who have experienced symptoms of insomnia and would like to improve their sleep habits. The app will guide users through the process of learning about sleep, developing positive sleep routines, and improving their sleep environments. It provides a structured program that teaches strategies proven to improve sleep and help alleviate symptoms of insomnia.
CBT-i Coach is intended to augment face-to-face care with a healthcare professional. It can be used on its own, but it is not intended to replace therapy for those who need it.

CBT-i Coach is based on the therapy manual, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Veterans, by Rachel Manber, Ph.D., Leah Friedman, Ph.D., Colleen Carney, Ph.D., Jack Edinger, Ph.D., Dana Epstein, Ph.D., Patricia Haynes, Ph.D., Wilfred Pigeon, Ph.D. and Allison Siebern, Ph.D. CBT-i has been shown to be efficacious for insomnia for both Veterans and civilians.

CBT-i Coach was a collaborative effort between VA’s National Center for PTSD, Stanford School of Medicine, and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth and Technology.

After looking at a few of the other reviews, I see I am not the only one. I have sleep issues, which is why I have the app. I cannot enter in my true sleep times because I get a message telling me my entry has a negative amount of sleep. There isn't a way to override this. Maybe have a message pop up that says please double check your entry but still let's you save.

Crashes then restarts when saving sleep logs. Time entry is difficult due to system automatically changing hour when minutes decrease past the whole hour. If the app finds an error in your entry (ie wake time before fell asleep time) you get to start over from block 1. Why make it so difficult, when just a keypad for entries would work fine? I'm very surprised that Stanford University endorse a product that has clearly not been fully tested. I am forced to use this app untill my sleep study is complete, but then it's toast!

So I went to bed at ten PM and got up at four AM. I couldn't even enter time in the diary. It said I was trying to enter negative time. The error message gave no help on how to correct it. Imagine how it feels to try and deal with an obtuse app after a poor night's sleep? Looking through the app for help I encountered message after message of plain language pablum that provided little or no actual information.

Defaults to PM for wake time. Increments hours if the minutes roll over while entering time. Nonsensical default times while using sleep log; not based on current time *or* previous entries. Just call out to the system time picker instead of making your own! If there are this many bugs in just the sleep log, I can't even imagine the rest of the app. Not sure why my sleep psychologist suggested this app.

Very disappointing how buggy it is. I'd love to have an app like this but without the bugs but none exists. For example, my sleep prescription has been set to 1230pm and gets moved 30 minutes later despite having a week of good sleep. Even when I manually set it to 1215 am it still reads as 1215 pm. This isn't being updated, either.

But it has too much white space around each text. Please compact the question lines closer and add an important question before all of them. What time did you start your bedtime routine/what time did you take your sleep medicine. Thank you

Worked great with no problems for the first week but once the 6th day rolled around I kept getting the infamous "negative number" error message. No matter how many times I uninstall or rearrange the time entry data, I still get the same error. Too inconsistent!

Great information, but terrible app design. Entering sleep logs is a chore, and don't even think about switching apps or your current entry will be erased. Also, it seems to keep my screen on for no reason.

I have used it daily for over two months and there is no doubt that this has made my CBT-I therapy more effective. I highly recommend this app. The IOS version is better because of the graphs it automatically provides and the ability to download your data into a spreadsheet.

Great app if you use iPhone. Need method to give feedback or data upload to providers at VA for the Android, Microsoft, or other platforms.

Chr. W. Jun 22, 2016     

Its an okay app but NEEDS in provement like for android platform user dont have the ability to see a graph of any type. And maybe have a login to be able to pull up your sleep data on any device.

Useful, easy to use app for those struggling with insomnia.

Ron. H. Mar 19, 2016     

Not intrusive, your info kept on your phone. almost one week in looks like a great tool to improve my heath. I'm using it.

A. G. u. Nov 3, 2016     

I can't adjust my prescribed bad time it's set for 3:58 p.m. but wind down time is 7:00p.m.? Can you fix this why can't I adjust it I tried reseting all twice & it's stuck on 3:58p.m. Who goes to bed before or at 4 in the afternoon-NUTS, Can you fix this? Or might as well delete this ridiculous app.

Great app that helps with anxiety. Very extensive

San. R. Jun 15, 2016     

Like the app but can't log my sleep times. Keeps saying it's negative. My sleep hours are not on a normal schedule. Often fall asleep in the am and wake up in the afternoon. One reason I was trying this app. So it's saying I have to be a normal sleeper to use it? Hmmm

No reporting feature makes this almost useless. The iOS version has this.

Tim. H. Feb 10, 2017     

Negative sleeping time. Whatever that means

A. G. u. Aug 16, 2016     

Could be useful. Takes a lot of time and dedication.

A. G. u. May 30, 2017     

Its free and better than the subscription ones you just need to look for the talinking exercises

Kat. G. Feb 14, 2015     

Good app. Learning modules are short and to-the-point. Diary is relatively easy to use, but drops sleep/wake time information I input when I add comments below. It might be useful to include optional fields for pain and stress levels and physical and relaxation exercises as well. Those can be input in comments, but may be forgotten and might be more user-friendly as short-answer fields for phone/tablet users.

Love the woman's voice on the three guided imagery modules. This app has some tools for those dealing with anxiety, like relaxation breathing. Definitely worth the cost of admission. Wish it had an actual CBT negative thought coaching component. Would pay more for a more robust version of this app.

I love the collection of tools and information. However, the sleep diary is pretty unwieldy, so much so that it's easier to use a pen & paper log. There doesn't seem to be any way to summarize or graph your actual time spent sleeping, which is the main measure many of us are interested in. Additionally, the app confuses/mislabels total time in bed with time trying to sleep.

Vic. K. Nov 12, 2015     

The sleep diary has a useful set of questions, but is annoying to use, and keeps losing my data while I'm entering it, or not saving it properly. There's also no way to summarize or export the data. The only option listed in the Settings for the sleep diary is "reset all user data", which is definitely not what I'm looking for.

I wanted to give 5 stars, but it crashes every time I try to save a journal entry. This app otherwise has great tools and learning devices to coach you to better sleep. Please get the bugs out and I will be happy to give it 5 stars.
