How the RISE app supports your care
Some patients choose to use the RISE app alongside therapy to better understand their sleep patterns and stay engaged between sessions. The app is included as part of your treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic, at no additional cost.
The app can help you:
- Track sleep consistency and timing
- Understand circadian rhythm patterns
- Reinforce strategies from therapy
- See progress over time
Your psychologist will help you decide how — or whether — the app fits into your treatment. Therapy always comes first.
“I feel like I finally understand the way sleep works and more importantly, how to make it work for me.”
What to expect from treatment
- Weekly virtual CBT-I sessions with a licensed sleep therapist
- A structured, time-limited course of care (not open-ended therapy)
- Clear guidance and adjustments between sessions based on your sleep patterns
- Support when setbacks happen — including stress, travel, or schedule changes
- Practical tools and skills you can continue using long after treatment ends
No guesswork. No trial-and-error sleep hacks.

What makes Scottsdale challenging for sleep?
Scottsdale's median age is 49.2, one of the oldest in the Phoenix metro, and 22.75% of residents are between 65 and 84. It's also a tourism and wellness town where 39% of workers are in hospitality. That combination produces sleep disruption from both ends of the age spectrum at once.
- Mayo Clinic Arizona and the wellness economy: Mayo Clinic's Scottsdale campus employs over 6,000 people and sees 100,000 patients a year, and HonorHealth runs multiple facilities across the city. Healthcare is Scottsdale's fastest-growing employment sector. Nursing rotations, on-call physician schedules, and overnight coverage at Mayo and HonorHealth put thousands of workers on irregular hours, while the city's wellness-tourism identity means resort and spa staff are working early mornings and late evenings to serve guests on vacation schedules.
- 299 sunny days and 106°F summers: Scottsdale gets more sun than nearly any city in the country, which sounds like a circadian advantage until July arrives. Summer highs reach 106°F, and overnight lows stay in the low 80s. Intense afternoon light and heat push people indoors behind blackout curtains for months, and the constant AC required to cool a bedroom below 70°F adds to the energy costs that come with living here.
- Aging population and tourism shifts: Nearly a quarter of Scottsdale residents are over 65, and sleep architecture changes with age: lighter sleep, more frequent awakenings, and earlier morning arousal. Meanwhile, the 39% of the workforce in tourism and hospitality works event-driven schedules that shift week to week depending on resort bookings, golf tournaments, and spring training. Arizona's 10.3% uninsured rate applies here, though Scottsdale's median household income of $107,372 means most residents have coverage.
CBT-I is the first-line treatment for insomnia in older adults because it avoids the fall and cognitive risks that sleep medications carry. For Scottsdale's healthcare and hospitality workforce, it fits around rotating schedules without adding another drive down Scottsdale Road. Sessions run over telehealth. Most insurance plans cover it, and sessions typically run 6-8 weeks.
