Who writes and reviews SnoozeSync's content

Every educational page on this site is authored and medically reviewed by Dr. Eskender Beyene, a physician who is board-certified in three specialties — Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine — and who remains in active clinical practice. He evaluates and manages sleep disorders, including chronic insomnia and sleep apnea, at his own accredited practice, and cares for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit.

Why SnoozeSync exists

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the guideline-recommended, first-line approach to chronic insomnia — yet most people who could benefit from its skills never get access to a trained clinician. Dr. Beyene built SnoozeSync as a self-guided wellness and education program that teaches sleep habits and skills informed by CBT-I principles. It does not diagnose or treat any medical condition, and it does not replace care from a licensed professional — a boundary reflected throughout the product and this site.

Editorial responsibility

Dr. Beyene selects sources, approves every factual claim, and sets the safety language on each page. Content standards, sourcing rules, use of drafting tools, and the corrections process are described in the Editorial Policy. Research citations for the program's educational basis are collected on the Research page.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: Dr. Beyene is the owner of SnoozeSync and of Washington Metro Sleep Institute. He has a financial interest in both. Where site content mentions his clinic, that relationship is disclosed in the text. SnoozeSync content is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or affiliated with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine or any other organization; references to clinical guidelines describe the published literature only.
