“For the first time, I had a safe place to talk about why I wasn't sleeping and someone who could show me exactly how to fix it. By improving my sleep, positive changes in the rest of my life just started stacking up.”
Who this treatment is for
You may be a good fit for the RISE Sleep Clinic if you:
- Take a long time to fall asleep
- Wake up during the night and can’t get back to sleep
- Wake earlier than you want
- Feel anxious or frustrated about sleep
- Have struggled with insomnia for months or years
CBT-I is designed to treat the root causes of insomnia — not just the symptoms.
“I wish more people knew about this. I can finally sleep better without a cocktail of medications every night.”

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 Tempe challenging for sleep?
Tempe's median resident age is 29, one of the youngest in the Phoenix metro, anchored by an ASU campus of 55,000 students. Combine that demographic with desert summers and Sky Harbor's flight path four miles away, and sleep disruption here has a specific local shape.
- Arizona State University: ASU's Tempe campus enrolls over 55,000 students, the largest single-campus student body in the country. Late-night study patterns, dense student housing, and the Mill Avenue bar crowd keep the city's core loud past midnight, and the culture of pulling all-nighters bleeds into how young Tempe residents treat sleep well into their late 20s.
- Desert summer heat: Summer highs in Tempe hit 106°F, and overnight lows from June through August often stay above 80°F. In older neighborhoods south of ASU, that's well above the 65°F bedroom temperature sleep clinicians recommend, and for a quarter of the year, AC is running all night just to get close.
- Sky Harbor and shift work: Phoenix Sky Harbor sits four miles from downtown Tempe, with flights from early-morning departures through red-eye arrivals. Add shift schedules at Banner Health, Arizona's largest employer, and at the hospital and manufacturing jobs across the East Valley, and Tempe has a workforce trying to sleep at every hour but the standard one.
CBT-I fits Tempe's mix of student-age residents, heat-driven disruption, and shift-based work better than medication does. Sessions run over telehealth, so Banner nurses, Sky Harbor workers, and ASU grad students don't have to fit another drive into their week. Most insurance plans cover it, and treatment typically runs 6-8 weeks.
