GBPoorly constructed application. Has not helped at all!! I have been using Sleepio App now for 2 weeks and it has not helped at all. The questionnaire is poorly thought out. Whoever constructed it clearly has no idea about sleep issues. What is the point in making the sleep diary just so you can see how poorly you are sleeping? You are asked to record the time you go to bed and how long it takes you to go to sleep. How would you know what time it goes to sleep unless you suddenly check a clock just as you are about to nod off!!! Duh!! So you then wake yourself up again!! So basically this means you need a sleep tracker which are also totally inaccurate.

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.

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.

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!
