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 psychologist
- 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 Fort Worth challenging for sleep?
Fort Worth just crossed 1 million residents, and Forbes ranked it the 10th hardest commute in the country. Between the aerospace industry, summer heat, and DFW sprawl, the city has a sleep problem it's only starting to talk about.
- Aerospace and defense shifts: Over 600 aerospace and defense companies employ 23,500+ people in the Fort Worth area. Bell Textron, Lockheed Martin, and government facilities run operations that don't stop at 5pm. Throw in 52,000 government workers, and shift schedules are common.
- 17 days above 100°F: Most summer days hit 90°F, and about 17 push past 100. Fort Worth gets muggy too. That combination means your body's core temperature stays elevated well after sunset.
- Super commuters: Nearly 2% of Fort Worth drivers endure commutes over 90 minutes each way. The average is 26.8 minutes, but DFW's sprawl makes a lot of those miles high-stress highway driving. That cortisol spike doesn't vanish when you pull into the driveway.
CBT-I targets the exact patterns that keep Fort Worth workers up: a nervous system that won't wind down after a long commute, a body clock disrupted by shift work, sleep anxiety from too many hot, restless nights. Texas Health Harris Methodist is right in Fort Worth for in-person sleep studies, but for insomnia treatment, telehealth CBT-I is faster and fits around any schedule.
