GBAs useless as the NHS which recommends it Can't log in on the webpage nor on the app. Completely and utterly useless and even the log in pages are badly designed. Must have been done by the YTS lad. No wonder the NHS have partnered with them. They're also useless.

GBWent through a 15min questionnaire on… Went through a 15min questionnaire on how my sleep is effected only to be told right at the end that they don't help people in my area?! Surely that would be a good thing to mention right at the beginning. Waste of my time!

GBDidnt help at all Didnt help at all Couldnt see the point of it, weekly cartoon video to watch, avoid caffeine etc, as a chronic insomniac I know this already 😡 Condescending voice on video. Daily sleep diary had to be input manually as couldnt link to Apple watch, found this very frustrating. Did not benefit me at all, waste of time and effort

GBpatronising The first weeks (!!) are wasted with tracking sleep and very general 'sleep hygiene' advice that surely most with a severe sleeping problem have explored in great detail (expect no change here, but unskippable videos with a cartoon professor mansplaining things). In my experience, by the time the only valuable help, sleep restriction, is applied, I may have given up on this. I tried restriction on my own before the programme told me. Further, there's no differentiation between interrupted sleep and problems falling asleep, which makes it at times sound it only serves the latter. Overall the approach is very rigid and the tone is patronising. Checking someone's knowledge and failed approaches to better sleep initially, and then starting where needed could have saved weeks of struggle. Sleep restriction worked for me, but it is hard to tell whether this was thanks to or despite Sleepio.
