Abstract

Sleepwell helps people find an effective and safe treatment for insomnia without the need for sleeping pills. It provides a gateway to cognitive-behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBTi), an effective form of sleep therapy. New insomnia treatment guidelines state CBTi is first-line treatment. Sleepwell is helping make this recommendation a reality.
