Problem
Many people in Toronto struggle with falling asleep or staying asleep, and conventional treatments often rely on medications that do not work long-term. Access to specialized sleep therapy is limited by geography, cost, and a lack of evidence-based, structured programs delivered in a convenient format.
Solution
SleepDoc offers online cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i), available either as private 1-on-1 sessions or as OHIP-covered group therapy delivered by video. The program consists of six 75-minute sessions, typically held on weekday evenings, covering the root causes of insomnia and evidence-based ways to address them. The interactive group sessions allow participants to ask questions while receiving tailored guidance. Patients can join from anywhere in Ontario with an Internet connection after an initial in-person appointment in Toronto. The approach is supported by research showing large improvements in insomnia severity and sleep efficiency, measured as the percentage of time in bed spent actually sleeping.
Target Audience
Primary customers are adults in Toronto and across Ontario experiencing insomnia or difficulty falling/staying asleep, who seek medically-informed, non-pharmaceutical CBT-i treatment. The corporate offering also targets employers looking to provide sleep therapy benefits to their teams.
