Sleepstation: Free NHS Support for Patients with Insomnia

Sleepstation is a clinically proven sleep improvement programme that can benefit people with even severe insomnia. It is currently available for free for our patients.

What Sleepstation does

The aim is to help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, lifting people’s mood and improving their general wellbeing.

There is no medication or equipment – it’s simply an online course where experts give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to control your sleep.

Following an initial assessment of your own individual needs, a tailored plan will be created to help you overcome sleep problems for good. Most people who follow their Sleepstation programme sleep better after three or four sessions.

Who it can help

The programme is designed specifically for people with insomnia. It uses a clinically proven form of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi).

It also produces long-lasting effects for most people.

I’d always wanted a dog but until now I’d never had the motivation and energy to get one.
