Using this program is like having a friend that understands your anxiety around sleep and helps you through it.

I’ve had insomnia for 18 years. Sleepio has brought my average sleep from two hours a night to seven hours a night.

I can’t believe I learned so much in such a short time after suffering for decades. This program is brilliant.

Poor sleep affects up to a third of UK adults 

Sleep problems may affect up to a third of the UK population and most sleep-wake disorders, for example shift work sleep disorder, are likely underdiagnosed.3 Due to limited availability of CBT, patients and clinicians are often left with no choice but to use commonly-prescribed sleep medications. Evidence shows these have limited long-term effectiveness and can cause side effects like drowsiness and memory loss.4
