## What is Somryst?

Somryst is a prescription digital medicine for chronic insomnia delivered right to your smartphone or tablet through an app. If you're interested in Somryst but haven't been prescribed Somryst by a doctor, please visit somryst.com to learn whether Somryst is right for you. 

Somryst works by delivering a self-paced program of lessons and activities over 6 to 9 weeks designed to train your brain to get better sleep that is clinically proven to last. These lessons are focused on optimizing your sleep window, developing good sleep habits, and changing your thought patterns around sleep. Somryst is not a sleep aid; it's sleep training. 

It's the only prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) for chronic insomnia clinically proven and authorized by the FDA.   

Indications for Use
Somryst is a prescription-only digital therapeutic intended to provide a neurobehavioral intervention (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia – CBT-I) in patients 22 years of age and older with chronic insomnia. Somryst treats patients with chronic insomnia by improving a patient’s insomnia symptoms.

Who Should Not Use Somryst (Contraindications)
Somryst uses sleep restriction and consolidation, limiting the time a patient spends in bed to match the amount of time they sleep. This treatment technique can increase risks to some patients whose pathophysiology may be worsened. Because of this, it is not appropriate for everyone. Patients with the following conditions or disorders should not use Somryst:
- Any disorder exacerbated by sleep restriction (e.g. bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, other psychotic spectrum disorders)
- Untreated obstructive sleep apnea 
- Parasomnias
- Epilepsy
- Individuals at high risk of falls
- Individuals who are pregnant
- Individuals who have any other unstable or degenerative illness judged to be worsened by sleep restriction delivered as part of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia

### 2/5 — Next to useless

*2023-02-03, version 1.2.1*

I used the program for several months and it was tedious and doesn’t offer much other than a way to record your sleep in the most annoying way possible. This is supposed to replace in person cognitive behavioral therapy and it lets you watch videos and read, then really fails to monitor your sleep or help you manage your sleep issues. I can save you the pricey subscription cost. Stay up as late as you can, compress your sleep time into a smaller period of five hours or so then expand that gradually. That’s all the program does.

### 1/5 — Somryst no go

*2022-11-27, version 1.2.1*

Tried to get this service to assist me with my insomnia, but I needed a prescription for it. At the onset, they tested me and my needs and approved me for prescription. About 2 weeks went by with no contact, then they wrote an email stating that I didn’t have a prescription and to apply at their telemedicine service to get one . I did that and another week went by with no contact. So, I decided that this had gone on long enough and tried to cancel. They said my prescription was approved and to contact the people who wrote it to cancel. This does make any sense!! So, I have heard nothing to date. Support is non-existent and no follow up for the service!!!
