Sonoa is suitable for you if
- you suffer from everyday stress and find it difficult to get to sleep
- you have problems falling asleep or wake up frequently at night
- you want to improve your physical and mental performance through better sleep and/or
- you want to proactively promote your health and well-being.

Sonoa is a medical app that supports you in promoting restful sleep and a healthy lifestyle. With Sonoa, you have a "digital coach" at your side who supports you in keeping a digital sleep diary and guides and motivates you to improve your sleep behaviour and your sleep-related lifestyle step by step.

No, Sonoa is not a real human coach, but a chatbot. A chatbot (chat + robot) is an automated and text-based dialogue system. Our chatbot Sonoa tries (similar to a real coach) to respond to your needs and habits in the dialogue, which can give the impression that it is a real human conversation partner; however, this is never the case.

Over several weeks, you will learn all about sleep and sleep problems in a fun way with quizzes in knowledge lessons. You will also analyse your sleep patterns and optimise your sleeping times. Relaxation exercises, goals to increase your physical activity and a Mediterranean diet will also improve the quality of your sleep.

You can easily export your sleep diary as a PDF file and show it to your doctor or therapist at your next appointment. Of course, you can also simply show your sleep diary on your smartphone.

Sonoa has been developed for people with insomnia. If you have a physical sleep disorder such as sleep apnoea, you should consult your doctor.
