Study Overview and Key Findings
To explore whether SleepScore’s digital behavioral platform could help adults with subclinical sleep issues, researchers enrolled more than 600 participants in a multi-month randomized controlled trial. Led by Professor Christoph Schoebel – a key opinion leader and physician in sleep medicine in Germany – the study’s findings confirm SleepScore’s potential to boost sleep quality and underscore the broader promise of consumer sleep technologies in addressing unmet sleep needs.
Highlights from the publication, which can be read in full here, include:
• Over 600 Participants, Randomly Assigned
Individuals with subclinical poor sleep were split between a waitlist (control) or the Dein Schlaf. Dein Tag. app powered by SleepScore and followed-up at 6 and 12-weeks.
• Personalized, Evidence-Based Digital Sleep Coaching
The SleepScore app combines objective data from sonar-based sleep tracking with tailored behavioral and cognitive strategies rooted in sleep hygiene and circadian science.
• Significant, Lasting Benefits to Sleep Quality
After 6 weeks, multiple self-reported sleep-quality measures improved significantly in the app group compared to controls, with gains maintained through 12 weeks. Notably, both “frequent” and “occasional” users benefited.
“Sleep optimization positively impacts all aspects of human physiology. This important work by Munt and colleagues demonstrates consumer sleep technologies can foster and promote this optimization. As such, these technologies put the power of sleep improvement in the hands of the general public.”
—Dr. Nate Watson, M.D., current chair of SleepScore’s Scientific Advisory Board and former president of both the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and American Board of Sleep Medicine.

Successful Results Pave Way for German Government Reimbursement
On the strength of this RCT, SleepScore has obtained full reimbursement from Germany’s public insurers, granting 74 million insured individuals nationwide access to its digital sleep intervention. Recognized as the world’s second-largest healthcare market after the US, Germany enacted its Digital Healthcare Act in 2015 to advance preventive care and innovation. SleepScore’s reimbursement milestone underscores the promise of expanding similar programs throughout the European Union.
