The dream team at sbnyc
Sleep Better NYC provides sleep coaching, care coordination, and therapy monitoring. We help sleepy people by giving realistic, actionable guidance.
Just like you, we've seen vague articles, over-hyped supplements, and infomercial products that never work the way you want them to. We believe in personalized care, and a holistic approach to your sleep and well-being- that’s why we’ve developed programs and content in collaboration with a community of experts. We want to bridge the gap between sleepy people and medical providers, when necessary.
As we expand our "Remote Patient Monitoring" offerings for Sleep Apnea patients and clinicians, we will be hiring additional credentialed coaches. Stay tuned!
