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 Tacoma challenging for sleep?
Tacoma is a military and port city. Joint Base Lewis-McChord is the largest military installation on the West Coast, and the Port of Tacoma supports over 42,000 jobs. Those two institutions define the work schedules — and the sleep disruption — for a significant share of the city's 228,000 residents.
- Joint Base Lewis-McChord: JBLM is home to the Army's I Corps and the Air Force's 62nd Airlift Wing, with a combined population of over 40,000 military personnel and tens of thousands of civilian employees and family members. Deployment cycles, training exercises, and the 24/7 operations tempo of an active military base produce chronic sleep disruption that extends beyond the service members themselves. Military spouses and dependent children absorb the stress of irregular schedules and unpredictable separations.
- Port of Tacoma and logistics: The Port of Tacoma handles container ships on schedules dictated by tides, weather, and international shipping lanes. The 42,000 jobs it supports include longshoremen, truckers, warehouse workers, and rail operators whose shifts follow cargo, not clocks. Tacoma's 29-minute average commute grows longer for the nearly 5% of workers making 90-plus-minute trips to Seattle, and that commute eats into recovery time after physical, early-morning port shifts.
- Pacific Northwest darkness and rain: November in Tacoma brings about two hours of daily sunshine and steady rain. The gray, wet conditions persist from October through April, and the circadian disruption accumulates across months. For port workers and JBLM personnel already on irregular schedules, the lack of morning light makes it harder for the body to anchor a consistent wake time. Washington's 6.3% uninsured rate is well below the national average, and TRICARE covers the military population.
MultiCare Tacoma General and Kaiser Permanente both serve the area for in-person sleep medicine. For insomnia, telehealth CBT-I fits around JBLM deployment schedules and port shift rotations without adding another drive in Tacoma traffic. TRICARE covers it for military families. Most insurance plans cover it, and sessions typically run 6-8 weeks.
