Address why you can't sleep, not just how to relax.
If your body is exhausted but your mind won't switch off, the problem usually isn't sleep hygiene; it's an anxious nervous system that learned to treat bedtime as a threat. Mochi Zen's Insomnia program uses RTT hypnotherapy to calm that response, paired with a sleep toolkit and built-in white noise. Answer 3 quick questions and your plan starts with the session made for what you're going through.

Tired all day. Wide awake the moment your head hits the pillow.
You've tried the rules: no screens, no caffeine, cool room. They help a little, but the racing mind always finds its way back.
Wired but exhausted
Your body is begging for sleep while your mind spins through tomorrow's to-do list.
The 2am wake-up
You fall asleep, then snap awake and can't get back down as the worries return.
Bed feels like a threat
Your nervous system has learned to brace at bedtime, so trying harder to sleep makes it worse.
Sleep stories wear off
Soundscapes and apps distract you for a while, but they don't fix what's keeping you awake.

Calm the cause, and sleep tends to return on its own.
Masking vs. fixing
Most sleep apps either distract you (stories, rain sounds) or drill behavior (sleep rules, schedules). Both can help, but if a racing, anxious mind is what's keeping you up, the behavior was never the real issue. The relief lasts only as long as the audio plays.
Down-regulating the nervous system with RTT
Mochi Zen uses RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy, developed by Marisa Peer) to quiet the anxiety response and update the subconscious belief that letting go isn't safe. When the nervous system stands down, deep, natural sleep stops being something you have to chase. In a small controlled study, hypnotic suggestion before a daytime nap increased slow-wave (deep) sleep by 81% and reduced time awake after sleep onset in highly suggestible young women (Cordi, Schlarb & Rasch, 2014, Sleep). The practical sleep toolkit and white noise are there to support the change, not replace it. Every session in the program was created by Paola Mendez, a certified RTT hypnotherapist trained by Marisa Peer. Andi's story, and the rest of the research, is in our guide to hypnosis for insomnia.
Mochi Zen is a wellness tool, not a substitute for professional medical care. If you have a diagnosed sleep disorder, please follow your clinician's guidance.
From members who finally sleep
"I have tried several sleep and meditation apps over the years, and none have worked like this. The sessions are about 20 minutes long, but I don't even know what happens after the first five minutes; I'm already asleep. That has never happened for me before."
"The RTT sessions have completely shifted my nighttime routine, helping me unwind, process the stress, and sleep soundly."
A focused path to natural sleep
Your plan opens with the intro and the session made for you, then the other core sessions follow one a week, each listened to daily so the calm has time to take hold.
Everything you need to set the stage for rest
A built-in white noise generator, a sleep-hygiene checklist that makes the nightly basics effortless, and a guided journal to see how your nights change.
Three questions, then a nightly plan made for you
Answer 3 quick questions
Right after you sign up: what brought you here, anything else weighing on you, and what your nights look like most.
Start with your session
Week 1 is the 5-minute intro plus the session made for your answer, like Nervous System Down-Regulation if you wake up and can't get back to sleep. See the list below.
Listen as you wind down
Play your session as part of your nightly routine. A new one arrives each week, and listening daily lets each one go deeper.
Layer the toolkit
Add white noise, the sleep-hygiene basics, your sleep journal (a Day 1 baseline and weekly check-ins) and a daily reminder.
Where your plan starts
Question 3 asks “Which sounds most like you?” Your answer picks the session you hear in week 1, right after the intro. The rest of the program follows, one new session a week.
Picked a second program too? Two of its sessions are mixed in along the way, or you can choose “Insomnia only”. A session counts as listened once half of it has played.
Built by a certified RTT practitioner
"So many people with insomnia have already tried everything: the rules, the supplements, the apps. What finally works is calming the anxious mind underneath. This program brings the RTT work I do with private clients to your nightstand, for whenever sleep won't come."

Sleep hypnotherapy, answered
Can hypnotherapy actually help me sleep?
For many people, yes. Most chronic insomnia is anxiety-driven: a nervous system that treats sleep as unsafe. RTT calms that response and updates the subconscious belief behind it, which is often what lets natural sleep return.
How is this different from sleep stories or meditation apps?
Sleep stories and soundscapes mask the problem by distracting you. Mochi Zen targets the root cause (the anxiety keeping your mind switched on), so over time you rely on fewer crutches to fall asleep.
Is the white noise included?
Yes. The app has a built-in white, pink, and brown noise generator with a sleep timer, alongside the hypnotherapy sessions and a full sleep-hygiene toolkit.
What if my insomnia is more of a habit than anxiety?
The sleep-hygiene toolkit covers the behavioral basics (schedule, light, wind-down). But if your mind races at night, the hypnotherapy is what addresses the cause that rules alone can't.
How does the Insomnia program start?
Right after you create your account, you answer 3 quick questions. Your plan starts with the 5-minute intro and the session made for what keeps you up: Deconstructing the Sleep Panic, Nervous System Down-Regulation or Natural Born Sleeper. After that, a new session arrives each week. Play it as part of your wind-down each night.
How much does it cost?
Mochi Zen is free for 7 days, with no credit card required. After the trial it costs $15 per month or $120 per year, and one subscription unlocks every program, not just Sleep. The intro session stays free.
Finally sleep through the night.
