GBNot for everyone as it states to be Not for everyone as it claim's to be - for insomnia, maybe useful if you've never spent hours online looking into sleep hygiene and inane tips for improvement. For day time fatigue, interrupted sleep, longer term issues, adults above 16, no. The score tracking of sleep diary makes no sense, if you waste a day with 12 hours of interrupted poor quality sleep that's apparently a 93% efficiency score... righhht.

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.

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.

SEWas not accessible to me The website said my details did not match what my employer had on file. Apparently they don't care about people not found on some particular register, a group that probably includes most people.
