How Sleepstation works
Sleep problems are often persistent, but they don’t have to be permanent. Our programmes use evidence-based methods, including CBTi, with our team on hand to guide you through the process step by step.
Sleepstation has been delivering digital sleep support since 2012, helping thousands of people improve their sleep every month. The structured, drug-free approach is grounded in scientific research and turns proven methods into simple actions that fit into daily life.
The process involves three clear steps:
- Understanding the causes of your sleep difficulties
- Creating a tailored plan that works for you
- Providing ongoing support from our team
Each week you’ll build knowledge and skills, uncovering the factors that keep sleep problems going and learning how to address them.
This structured approach helps you make lasting improvements in sleep and gives you the confidence to feel in control again.
- Based on CBTi, the recommended first-line treatment for persistent insomnia
- Designed to help you build lasting confidence and control over your sleep.

Your biggest challenge
The hardest step is often just getting started. When you’re exhausted, it’s natural to feel sceptical or wonder if anything will really help. Many of the people we’ve supported felt the same way at first.
What makes the difference is giving yourself the chance to try. With a clear plan, daily guidance and support along the way, you don’t have to face the process alone — and that’s what helps people turn the corner with their sleep.
Kate decided to put her trust in Sleepstation and was amazed by the results, saying:
Kate, 54
You know when I started Sleepstation I never believed I would be sleeping some nights over eight hours! I knew I’d get improvement because I am a great believer in just normal CBT, but to now have increased my sleep efficiency from 20% to 83%… Wow!
So a huge thank you for getting me to this point… You’ve been such a great support and the ‘This Morning’ interview echoes my experience.

How Sleepstation rebuilds your sleep
Sleepstation combines structured digital programmes with human support to help you make lasting changes that deliver proven results:
- The programme — Sleepstation is delivered digitally and tailored to each person. Based on what you tell us, we’ll guide you to the version of the programme that is most appropriate for you, based on your needs and location.
In the UK, this may include Sleepstation CBTi, a UKCA-marked medical device for adults with insomnia. Outside the UK, support is available through our guided self-help and wellness programmes.
Whichever option is right for you, the programme is structured, evidence-based and practical. Short lessons and daily tasks turn proven techniques, including CBTi, into simple actions that fit into everyday life.
- Human support — Everyone who uses Sleepstation has access to support. What this looks like will depend on your needs and location. In the UK, some programmes include direct contact with our coaches and clinicians, who can review your progress, answer questions and adjust your plan. Outside the UK, support is built into our guided self-help and wellness programmes, so you still receive clear guidance and encouragement.
However it is delivered, support is always there to help you stay on track, build confidence and make lasting changes to your sleep.
Together, these elements form the core approach to addressing persistent insomnia. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is the recommended first-line treatment worldwide.
What to expect
The programme is designed to fit into your daily life. Most people make progress by spending about 10 minutes a day on their sleep, and many notice improvements within a few weeks.

Your personal sleep improvement plan
Sleepstation offers a range of sleep support programmes, tailored to your needs and location. Some include direct support from our coaches and clinicians, while others are designed as guided self-help. Whichever option is right for you, you’ll follow a structured process that helps you build skills, knowledge and confidence to improve your sleep.
Tailored plan
We begin by reviewing everything you’ve told us about you and your sleep. From this, we create a plan that focuses on your specific challenges and the areas where change is likely to make the biggest difference.
Messaging and support
Depending on your programme, support may include direct contact with sleep coaches and clinicians or structured self-guided resources. Either way, you’ll have clear guidance, answers to your questions and encouragement to keep you moving forward.
Sleep tracking
You’ll complete short sleep diaries and check-ins to highlight patterns and opportunities for change. Where coaching is included, your support team will use this information to adjust your plan.
Discoveries and insights
Regular reviews will help identify the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may be affecting your sleep, and you’ll learn strategies to manage them.

What your plan might cover
Sleepstation offers multiple sleep support programmes. The content and level of support you receive will depend on your needs and location. Not everyone will do every module, and the order will vary. Each module is practical, evidence-based and designed to fit into your daily life.
Eight modules are outlined below to give you a sense of what might be covered.
Identify the root causes of your sleep difficulties, whether mental, emotional, or environmental. Information you share about your problems and expert insights will inform your tailored sleep improvement plan. Your support team will work with you to understand your current sleep ability and, across a number of weeks, will develop and refine a realistic and achievable plan that’s right for you.
This module is designed to help you understand and improve your sleep ability, which encompasses your capacity to fall asleep, stay asleep, and achieve restful, restorative sleep. By analysing your current sleep patterns and identifying any barriers, we can recommend targeted strategies to enhance your sleep, leading to better sleep quality and overall wellbeing.
We’ll introduce a technique that helps you align your time in bed with the actual amount of sleep you get, making the time you spend in bed more restful and rejuvenating. This approach gradually increases the amount of time you spend sleeping soundly, leading to better overall sleep quality. Over time, you’ll find that you fall asleep more quickly, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more refreshed and energised. This method is particularly effective for those who struggle with fragmented sleep or difficulty falling asleep.
Learn to identify, manage and reduce any negative thoughts and emotions that may be driving your sleep problems. You’ll get to grips with practical cognitive control techniques, so you can overcome any negative thoughts impacting your sleep.
Implement techniques to further improve sleep quality. Your diaries will continue to be reviewed during each module and adjustments made to your plan based on your progress.
Build on the foundation we’ve laid and focus on what’s worked so far. You’ll refine your successful strategies to solidify and improve on your sleep.
Add further techniques to your skill set. You’ll be introduced to new methods that can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Eliminate anxiety around sleep. You’ll explore how worry, over-focus and and anxious thoughts impact your sleep ability and how to resolve them using new strategies.
Review your progress and build a plan to maintain your sleep gains for the long term. You’ll evaluate the strategies and techniques you’ve learnt, making sure you’re confident that you can stay in control of your sleep going forward. Our team will remain at your side for as long as you need us.
What difference could better sleep make to your life?
We’ve already supported thousands of people to improve their sleep this month. You could be next. Here’s how others describe their experience with Sleepstation:
Jena, 70
I’m amazed by the support I’ve received from my sleep coach. It felt like he was totally on my side and understood and responded to everything really quickly, which was such a reassuring feeling. In my opinion, I can’t think of any way Sleepstation could be improved!
Damian, 51
I thought insomnia was just something I was born with that couldn’t be changed. But I’ve been really surprised at how much improvement I’ve made in just a few weeks with the most consistent week of sleep in years this week! The tools are genuinely useful and I’ve felt supported all the way with regular and relevant check-ins from the sleep team.
El, 52
It’s been great to have the personal messages and support from a real person. Having someone tell you the basics, in bite size pieces, has been invaluable. This course breaks down the strategies in an easy to follow way so that you can concentrate on just one thing at a time to see if it helps.
Human support is at the heart of Sleepstation
Our programmes give you the structure and tools to improve your sleep, but it’s the human support that makes the biggest difference.
Our team are there to guide you step by step, helping you stay on track and adapt your plan as you go. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. If something isn’t working, we’ll adjust it. If you’re improving, we’ll build on that progress.

Depending on your programme, support may include direct contact with our sleep coaches and clinicians or structured self-help with clear guidance at every stage. Either way, help is always available. You can ask questions, share concerns or celebrate wins, and your support will be tailored to your situation.

Why support matters
Sleep problems can be complex and the solutions are not always obvious. Evidence shows that people do better when they have support — with timely guidance and plan adjustments, they are more likely to stay motivated, avoid setbacks and make lasting change. That’s why support is built into every Sleepstation programme.
