There is quite a bit of overlap. Our program uses many of the behavioral techniques (CBT-I) mentioned in the book, but we also go beyond just CBT-I to help you figure out the underlying psychological drivers of your chronic insomnia and resolve those drivers one by one.

I wouldn't claim that our app is better than any of the resources you mentioned. The best remedy is what works for you. For some people, it might be reading a book on insomnia, or practicing mindfulness. A lot of this is also influenced by personal preference too (do you prefer reading, or watching a video, or listening to an audio to consume content etc).

Our app resonates with users who prefer shorter and more "bite-sized" content (especially video or audio based) that can be consumed by spending 5-10 minutes a day, but there are also people who prefer receiving more information upfront. Go with what works best for you!
