Sleepio is the NICE-recommended online sleep improvement programme proven to help you clear your mind, get better sleep, and have better days.
Sleepio isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It incorporates your unique needs to create a customised six-week programme that you complete at your own pace. Each session builds on the last, guiding you step-by-step through methods proven to help you quiet your racing mind, reshape your behaviours, and get better sleep — all in about 20 minutes per week.
The programme uses cognitive behavioural techniques that are backed by decades of clinical research, and has undergone more testing than some of the most common sleep medications. In 14 randomized controlled trials with over 8,000 people, Sleepio was proven to help participants fall asleep 54% faster, spend 62% less time awake at night, and have 45% better functioning the next day. You’ll have access to all of this clinical evidence from directly within the app.
KEY FEATURES:
A customised programme of clinically proven cognitive and behavioural techniques, designed to get your sleep schedule, thoughts, and lifestyle into shape over six tailored sessions.
A comprehensive onboarding approach with an in-depth questionnaire that shapes your tailored program experience.
Sleep Diary to track your progress and monitor your sleep efficiency as you work towards your sleep goals.
Instant, bite-sized support through the “Help Me Now” feature to get back on track after a long night or rough morning.
“The most effective, long-term solution for poor sleep is a cognitive and behavioural approach, which addresses the mental and behavioural parts of the individual’s sleep pattern,” shared Professor Espie. “These approaches help the person to think and behave differently in relation to their sleep, which encourages good sleep to return. Sleepio is a clinically proven digital sleep improvement programme that uses cognitive and behavioural techniques to help users with persistent sleep problems.”
Note: In the UK, Sleepio is a CE marked medical device available for the treatment of Insomnia Disorder.
Sleepio is intended for use by adults 18 years and older.

Sleepio FAQ
Is Sleepio free?
Yes, Sleepio is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Sleepio legit?
🤔 The Sleepio app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
This app requires discipline. When I am able to exercise the willpower to follow its guidance, my sleep is greatly improved. I have done some backsliding. But then I see that problems result.
Now, I am following the guidance and my total average sleep per week is increasing between five and 15 minutes. Also, it is nearly always uninterrupted sleep. I have been using the app for six months. It is not a magic bullet quick fix. It requires commitment and consistency.
I have gone from sleeping maybe four hours a night with interruptions to sleeping over seven hours, almost never awakening.
I never could have done this alone. Thank you.
I want to try it but it won't let me
For some idiotic reason, it won't let you create an account unless it's covered by your insurance plan. I'm willing to pay out of pocket. This is discrimination, pure and simple. Or else stupidity.
No Apple Watch Sync
I like the app but it would be so much better if it supported Apple Watch sync. It only syncs with Fitbit.
Add support for iWatch
My first impression, it doesn’t have iWatch support. Will update my review after sometime.
Way too manual
Only syncs to a Fitbit. Who has time to manually enter their sleep patterns everyday? For the price of the ap it should sync to Apple or come with a free Fitbit.
Glitch
It won’t let me progress to the next session even though I’ve watched session 2 FIVE times all the at through. I always wait a full week and then rewatch. I’ve done this over and over and over. It’s been almost a month and I can’t access the next session.
Super Bummed
After reading Sleepyhead, I was excited to try this app. Im super bummed it’s currently not available to me. 😭
Shift work
I was hoping for shift work and continuous change in my bed time and how to handle it.
Stuck
I completed the intro session but can’t move forward in the app because it says I haven’t completed it. Every time I click resume it starts over. I don’t want to listen to 15 minutes of the guy talking again! Why is there no skip or at least a fast forward option?
Improvement
Just learning the information has tweaked my mind enough to improve my sleep!! When I actually incorporate the techniques it’s amazing how my sleep efficiency improved. I haven’t sleep his well, without interruptions, in 10 years!! Sleepio calculates my sleep efficiency, therefore, showing me the mathematical outcome of my sleep. I highly recommend the app!
