Sleep Treatment Reviews

Cerebral is a well-established online mental health platform that treats insomnia as part of its broader psychiatric and therapy services. Their approach often addresses sleep difficulties in the context of underlying conditions like anxiety and depression, which many sleep specialists consider a more effective long-term strategy. Cerebral prescribes non-controlled sleep medications such as trazodone, hydroxyzine, and gabapentin, though they do not prescribe benzodiazepines or other controlled sleep aids.

Brightside Health is a telehealth platform specializing in anxiety, depression, and insomnia treatment through both therapy and psychiatry. What sets Brightside apart is their measurement-based approach: they track your symptoms over time using validated clinical scales, allowing your provider to make data-informed adjustments to your treatment plan. For insomnia, this may mean monitoring changes in sleep quality, latency, and duration alongside medication or therapy interventions.

Hims is one of the most recognized telehealth brands in the United States, primarily known for ED and hair loss treatments. Their mental health service, which includes treatment for insomnia, offers an affordable entry point at $49/mo for medication management. Hims prescribers can evaluate patients for non-controlled sleep medications like trazodone and hydroxyzine. While Hims is not a sleep-specialist platform, their streamlined process and established reputation make them an accessible first step for men dealing with sleep difficulties.

Hers is the women-focused counterpart to Hims, offering telehealth services tailored to women's mental health, skincare, hair loss, and sexual wellness. For sleep treatment, Hers provides access to licensed prescribers who can evaluate insomnia and prescribe non-controlled medications. What makes Hers particularly relevant for sleep is their focus on conditions that commonly affect women's sleep — including hormonal fluctuations, perimenopause-related insomnia, anxiety, and stress from major life changes.

PlushCare takes a more traditional approach to telehealth compared to subscription-only platforms. Instead of a monthly subscription for ongoing care, PlushCare operates on a per-visit model: you book an appointment with a board-certified doctor, discuss your sleep concerns via video call, and if appropriate, receive a prescription sent to your local pharmacy. This model may appeal to patients who prefer a physician-led consultation without committing to a recurring subscription, particularly those with insurance who can keep costs low.

Sesame Care operates as a healthcare marketplace connecting patients directly with providers at transparent, upfront prices — no insurance billing, no surprise fees. For insomnia treatment, Sesame offers dedicated sleep consultation appointments starting as low as $34, making it one of the most affordable single-visit options available. Providers on Sesame can prescribe non-controlled sleep medications and send prescriptions to your local pharmacy the same day. The platform is especially well-suited for patients who want straightforward, affordable access to a sleep evaluation without committing to an ongoing subscription.

MDLIVE is a large, established telehealth platform that is part of the Evernorth (Cigna) health services network. Unlike many of the subscription-based platforms on this list, MDLIVE is frequently included in employer health benefits, meaning many patients can access therapy or psychiatry visits for insomnia at no additional cost beyond their regular insurance premium. MDLIVE offers both therapy and psychiatry for behavioral health conditions including insomnia, though their approach leans more toward behavioral and therapeutic interventions than aggressive medication prescribing.
