What Sleep Reset does

Our mission is to improve quality of life for millions of people by providing easy, immediate access to the world’s best sleep care. Sleep Reset is a modern, digital sleep clinic that delivers end-to-end care for every sleep issue - from insomnia to sleep apnea and beyond - all in one place. Available completely online, we make it simple to get evaluated, diagnosed, and treated without long wait times or in-person visits. Built in collaboration with leading sleep experts and top academic institutions, Sleep Reset combines clinical evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing care tailored to each individual. Members can access evidence-based therapies, at-home sleep testing, and clinician-guided treatment - all designed to address the root causes of poor sleep, not just the symptoms. Whether you’re struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or dealing with underlying conditions like sleep apnea, Sleep Reset provides a clear path to better sleep and better health. Our approach is personalized, clinically grounded, and designed for lasting results. Sleep Reset has been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, and INSIDER. The company was founded by Yunha Kim, a serial entrepreneur recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, and is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Foundation Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Stanford University, and a network of top founders and operators.
