What the research says about all three
All three programs are built on CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) — the gold-standard approach recommended by the American College of Physicians as first-line treatment, ahead of medication.
CBT-i has a 70-80% success rate in 6-8 weeks across published studies. The differences between programs aren't in the underlying method. They're in delivery, price, and access.
Sleepio carries the strongest research portfolio (Oxford, NHS, employer studies). Sleep Reset has a strong app + human-coach product. Sleepcodex prioritizes quiz-first personalization, EN + DE, no insurance friction, no prescription, no coach pacing.
