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.

Oliver, 55

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 Greenville challenging for sleep?

Greenville is East Carolina University's city. ECU enrolls thousands of students, employs thousands more, and its health system operates the only Level I trauma center east of Raleigh. The median age here is 27.3, one of the youngest in North Carolina, and nearly everything about how this city sleeps traces back to the university.

  • ECU Health Sleep Center and ECU Health Medical Center: ECU Health is a 1,447-bed system spanning eight hospitals and 12,000 employees, serving 1.4 million people across 29 eastern North Carolina counties. The flagship medical center in Greenville has 900+ beds. The ECU Health Sleep Center is here too, but the irony is that the people staffing it, and the rest of the hospital, are the ones losing the most sleep to shift rotations.
  • Advanced manufacturing shifts: Thermo Fisher Scientific, Catalent, and Hyster-Yale all run manufacturing operations in Greenville. Pharmaceutical and medical-device production requires precision environments that operate on shifts, and the workers coming off a 6pm-to-6am run are trying to fall asleep while the university campus is waking up.
  • College-town schedules: A median age of 27.3 means a population that's disproportionately young, and college towns run late. The bars, restaurants, and food-delivery jobs that support a university economy keep workers out past midnight. Pitt County's 10% uninsured rate is a bit above the national average, adding a coverage gap on top of the schedule chaos.

Greenville has a 15-minute average commute, one of the shortest on this list, which gives residents more time for sleep than most American workers have. CBT-I helps them use it. Telehealth delivery fits ECU Health shift workers, manufacturing employees, and students who aren't going to drive across town for a daytime appointment. Most insurance plans cover it, and sessions typically run 6-8 weeks.
