The DRIFT Protocol
How it works

How Drift actually works.

Drift is a low-dose, non-habit-forming sleep protocol — trazodone or doxepin, prescribed at concentrations that help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep without next-day grogginess.

Most patients notice improved sleep quality within the first week. Your provider works with you to find the right active and the right dose for how you actually sleep.

About this protocol

Clinical context our providers use when matching the right sleep agent to your specific insomnia type.

The DRIFT Protocol clinical context
How provider-selected sleep therapy works
  • One medication matched to your specific sleep problem — falling asleep, staying asleep, or anxiety-driven insomnia
  • Provider chooses from a non-habit-forming shortlist — ramelteon, doxepin, trazodone, or hydroxyzine. Never benzodiazepines.
  • One pill, 30 minutes before bed
  • Provider intake to map your sleep pattern. Adjust agent or dose as needed.
  • For people who want a targeted prescription instead of stacking OTC supplements
