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.

Why virtual CBT-I works

Virtual CBT-I delivers the same evidence-based insomnia treatment as in-person care — with fewer barriers.

  • Comparable outcomes to in-person treatment
  • No commuting or waiting rooms
  • Easier scheduling that fits real life
  • Access to licensed sleep experts who specialize in insomnia
  • Practice sleep strategies in your own bedroom environment
  • Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions

You get expert insomnia treatment without disrupting your life.

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.

Nafeesa, 45

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 Carson City challenging for sleep?

Carson City residents run into a few local factors that make chronic insomnia more likely and harder to shake:

  • High-altitude living (~4,800 ft): Carson City sits at roughly 4,800 feet in Eagle Valley. Altitude is a recognized cause of fragmented sleep and periodic breathing, and the effect is strongest for people who recently moved up from lower elevations.
  • Wildfire smoke season: Summer and fall smoke from Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe basin fires regularly pushes Carson City air quality into unhealthy ranges. Poor air quality is tied to more disrupted, lower-quality sleep.
  • An older-than-average population: The city's median age is about 42, higher than Nevada's 39 and the U.S. average. Insomnia prevalence climbs with age, so a graying capital sees more chronic sleep complaints.
  • Shift work across the region: State government, Carson Tahoe Health, and nearby Reno's around-the-clock casino economy put a lot of local workers on rotating and overnight schedules that scramble the body clock.

CBT-I is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, and it works regardless of what is keeping you up. Rise Sleep Clinic pairs you with a Nevada-licensed psychologist over video, so Carson City residents can start clinician-led CBT-I without the drive to Reno or a months-long wait, with most major insurance plans accepted.
