CBT-I Apps and Sleep Programs Guide
Humanic Blue’s Longevity365 guide: A prescription insomnia app, a public web course and a therapy diary can all appear in a search for better sleep. Their roles differ. This comparison explains four named programs.
Explore the productsCognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBT-I, addresses habits and thought patterns involved in persistent insomnia. For readers interested in living longer and better, access and clinical support are useful distinctions before comparing app features.
01 / Our approach
How did we evaluate these products and services?
We compared prescription access, self-guided education and provider-led treatment support. Product descriptions identify the program’s role rather than treating all sleep apps as equivalent therapy.
Improve Sleep After 50: evidence and sources02 / The takeaways
What did the source evidence show?
- SleepioRx is a prescription digital treatment for adults, used alongside usual care.
- VA Path to Better Sleep is a public browser-based program. CBT-i Coach supports treatment with a provider.
- Stellar Sleep describes an iPhone and Android CBT-I app; SleepioRx’s regulatory status does not transfer to it.
What support would come from the program, and what support would come from a person?

The order is not a ranking. The profiles explain what each named offering provides and how it is accessed.
The matrix compares the named formats and access arrangements, rather than awarding a clinical winner.
Product 01 / 04
SleepioRx
Service or device formatPrescription digital CBT-I treatment
Big Health describes SleepioRx as an FDA-cleared prescription treatment for chronic insomnia in adults eighteen and older, alongside usual care. It includes sleep diaries, lessons and visual sleep insights.
A provider order supplies an access code and download link. The patient page says the app is not found by a normal app-store search. It is a different access route from an unrestricted wellness download.
Product 02 / 04
VA Path to Better Sleep
Service or device formatPublic browser-based education and self-management
The VA program has four parts: Sleep Check-Up, Sleep 101, SleepEZ and BreatheEZ. Together they cover sleep-disorder screening, sleep habits, insomnia self-management and sleep-apnea education.
The VA says the courses do not replace treatment by a healthcare professional. This is a web program rather than the separate CBT-i Coach mobile app.
Product 03 / 04
CBT-i Coach
Service or device formatCompanion to provider-led CBT-I
The VA describes CBT-i Coach for people undertaking CBT-I with a mental-health provider. Its iPhone and Android apps include a diary, feedback, routines, relaxation tools and reminders.
The VA explicitly says the app is not meant for self-care. It supports a treatment relationship; the separately named Insomnia Coach is a different app.
Product 04 / 04
Stellar Sleep
Service or device formatConsumer iPhone and Android CBT-I app
Stellar Sleep describes a mobile program delivering CBT-I and claims its approach improves sleep. Its support material identifies iPhone and Android access.
This company description does not make Stellar Sleep the same regulated prescription device as SleepioRx. Access terms and any subscription are specific to Stellar’s offer.
Does the app’s intended role match the reason someone is considering it?
