Yes of course. After you fill up the survey, we will be able to recommend a personalized program for you that's tailored to your sleep habits.

The way it works is everyday, you will spend 5 - 10 minutes completing modules related to sleep/ psychology. These modules can be video or text based and is based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which is the first-line treatment recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

You also record your sleep on the app, so we can further personalize your program and also apply an algorithm to analyze your sleep patterns and adjust your bedtime automatically to improve your overall sleep quality.

You can learn more on https://stellarsleep.com/science.

Our app is recommended for 18yo and above. Hope this answers your question!

So for $63 a month customers can expect the app to:

- send them a daily quiz and youtube video

- suggest a bedtime

Is that an accurate summary?

I think this summary is ignoring CBT-I aspect, assuming they managed to make it work without interaction. CBT is pretty much a specialty that you learn with a therapist. My main concern about subj is on that. And also: if they really pulled it off, they may just pivot/extend to full-on CBT as well.

You are asking me to do a lot of work upfront before I get any kind of idea around costs. I couldn’t find any pricing information anywhere (except here in this thread) which is offputting to me. I didn’t fill in the quiz or survey or whatever it’s called, because why would I give info before you do?
