Insomnia occurs when you regularly have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep. Insomnia can be either acute (short term) or chronic (long term). Insomnia is considered chronic when it happens at least 3 times a week for 3 months or more.

There are many factors that can contribute to insomnia. Some people have a predisposition to insomnia, which can be triggered via a life event or period of intense stress. Age also plays a role in sleeping difficulties. As we get older we naturally sleep lighter and for fewer hours. In cases of chronic insomnia, sleeping difficulties often persist beyond the original trigger as people develop negative associations and coping mechanisms, which cause a vicious cycle.

We believe your sleep challenges are unique to you and require a holistic approach for long term results. We offer a wide range of sleep treatments and have worked with Dr. Earim to provide you with a personalised recommendation via our quiz. We also offer a free clinician consultation after one month, where you can discuss any remaining concerns and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Our approach is holistic, which means alongside your treatment, we recommend exploring our sleep advice. Curated by our sleep expert, we explain the science behind why you can’t sleep, and what you can do about it.

We offer a range of high quality treatments designed to leave you feeling refreshed. These include:

Melatonin: a naturally occurring sleep hormone which controls your circadian rhythm - your “bodyclock”. Melatonin can help with falling asleep and achieving more regular sleep

Promethazine: a safe, sedating antihistamine, which has been used as a sedative for insomnia for years. Unlike traditional sleeping tablets it is not addictive.

Good Nights: supplement combining the best natural ingredients: tart cherry, lemon balm and chamomile. Delivered via our patented, slow release beadlet technology to support quality sleep throughout the night

CBD + 5 HTP: a natural relaxant, cannabidiol has been associated with the reduction of stress and anxiety, common causes of insomnia. Our capsule also includes 5 HTP, an amino acid which can be converted into serotonin, and then melatonin.

84% of customers see improvements using our treatments. You should typically start to see improvement within a few days to a week, although optimising your sleep is a life-long endeavor. For best results we recommend supporting your treatments with changes to your routine - explore our recommendations in the sleep advice section of your account.

If you want to switch your treatment at any point, no problem, simply book a free clinician call to find out what could be a better option for you.

Yes. All our treatments are safe and non-addictive. We do not prescribe traditional sleeping pills such as Z-drugs or benzos, because these are short term solutions that can cause adverse side effects such as withdrawal, addiction and memory issues.

Few patients have side effects with our treatments, however a full list of side effects is available on the Patient Information Leaflet.
