What is Sonoa and how can it help me sleep better?

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.

Is Sonoa a real coach?

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.

How does sleep training with Sonoa work?

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.

How can I share my sleep data with my doctor or therapist?

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.

Can Sonoa help me with specific sleep problems such as insomnia or sleep apnoea?

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

How do I get access to Sonoa?

Sonoa is currently only available to people insured with CSS. If you are a client of CSS and have supplementary insurance, you will receive 6 months' free access to the Sonoa app.
