Cognitive-behavioral sleep support that reduces anxiety and restores natural, confident sleep patterns.

// WHAT IS 3-MINUTE SLEEP RESET? //

A Physician-Safe Cognitive Pathway for Sleep Anxiety and Chronic Insomnia

3-Minute Sleep Reset™ is delivered under the clinical leadership of Dr. Michael R. Edelstein, a direct trainee of Albert Ellis and a senior supervisor in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). The program operates through Hope2Heal, which provides the operational and administrative infrastructure supporting the clinical work.

Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on sleep behaviors, 3-Minute Sleep Reset™ targets the mental loop that often keeps insomnia alive—catastrophic thinking, performance pressure, and anxiety about wakefulness. Patients learn a brief, structured cognitive method practiced in short, repeatable segments that reduce emotional escalation around sleep.

For referring practices, this provides:

A structured, evidence-aligned cognitive-behavioral option
Reduced burden on short clinical visits
A safe referral pathway that complements CBT-I and medical sleep treatment
Clear communication and documentation for out-of-network reimbursement

For patients, this means:

Reduced sleep anxiety and rumination
Increased confidence in their body’s natural sleep ability
Improved adherence to medical or behavioral sleep recommendations
A practical, repeatable skill rather than a temporary fix

3-Minute Sleep Reset™ does not replace medical evaluation. It strengthens it by addressing the cognitive disturbance layer that often makes sleep recovery difficult.

// Frequently Asked Questions //

Q: Is 3-Minute Sleep Reset™ a replacement for CBT-I or medical sleep treatment?

A: No. 3-Minute Sleep Reset™ complements medical sleep care and CBT-I. It focuses specifically on reducing sleep-related anxiety and rigid beliefs that often interfere with behavioral adherence. It does not replace medical evaluation, CPAP therapy, or psychiatric care when indicated.

Q: What makes 3-Minute Sleep Reset™ different from traditional CBT-I?

A: Traditional CBT-I often emphasizes behavioral protocols such as sleep restriction and stimulus control. 3-Minute Sleep Reset™ targets the cognitive and emotional layer that maintains insomnia such as catastrophic thinking, performance pressure, and fear of wakefulness. It reduces the mental disturbance that keeps the sleep loop active.

Q: What types of patients are appropriate for referral?

A: Ideal candidates include:

- Chronic insomnia (3+ months)

- Sleep-related anxiety

- CPAP-compliant but distressed patients

- Individuals motivated for cognitive-behavioral participation

Patients with severe psychiatric instability or unmanaged substance use require additional evaluation before referral.

Q: How is billing handled?

A: 3-Minute Sleep Reset™ operates as an out-of-network service. Patients pay at the time of service and receive a detailed superbill that includes CPT, ICD-10, DSM-5, licensure, and tax ID information. This removes administrative burden from the referring practice.

Q: How are outcomes communicated back to the referring provider?

A: With patient consent, summary updates can be provided regarding participation status, level of engagement (individual or group), and general progress. The goal is to support collaborative care without increasing documentation complexity for the referring practice.
