Protocol Zero is not a sleep tracker.
Protocol Zero is an Active Sleep Improvement System.
While passive trackers (like Oura or Apple Sleep) provide data about how you slept last night, Protocol Zero provides a personalized, behavioral protocol telling you exactly what to do today to improve your sleep tonight.
We translate decades of peer-reviewed sleep science into a simple, automated daily plan designed to instill the behaviors necessary for optimal sleep.
Protocol Zero is an educational and behavioral tool designed to promote sleep health and optimization in healthy adults.
It is important to understand that Protocol Zero:
Individuals suspecting a sleep disorder (such as insomnia or sleep apnea) or those with certain medical conditions (such as Bipolar Disorder or seizure disorders) should consult a physician before using this app.
Our methodology is grounded in circadian science and established behavioral research. Protocol Zero instills the behaviors needed for optimal sleep and provides education based on rigorous, peer-reviewed research regarding sleep hygiene.
Our approach adapts core principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
CBT-I is recognized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) as the gold-standard approach for improving sleep, known for creating durable, long-term results. (1, 2)
While P0 is not a clinical intervention for insomnia, we adapt the most impactful behavioral strategies from this research; such as stabilizing the sleep-wake schedule (Circadian Anchoring), optimizing daily habits (Behavioral Optimization), and re-training the brain to associate the bed with sleep (Stimulus Conditioning)—into a system for the general population seeking better sleep.
