Sleepio/Daylight

Sleepio and Daylight are science-backed, digital therapies, personalised to your needs – no prescriptions or doctors’ visits needed. They were built by leading mental health experts using evidence-based techniques, in collaboration with creative storytellers such as Pixar- because we believe mental healthcare should not only be effective, but also positive and fun.

Start with just a two-minute quiz to learn your Sleep Score and how to improve it, or discover your Anxiety Type and how to manage it.

Sleepio - Insomnia/Sleep Difficulties

Sleepio is an effective long-term solution to sleep troubles and has been validated in 12 randomised controlled trials and over 13,000 participants. In one randomised trial, Sleepio helped 76% of poor sleepers achieve healthy sleep.

You start with a two-minute quiz to find out your Sleep Score and get a personalised report.
Then you’ll be guided through online sessions by your animated sleep expert, The Prof, to learn a range of cognitive and behavioural techniques that are proven to work.

Daylight - Anxiety

Daylight is an effective long-term solution for anxiety and worry, with one randomised trial showing a 71% improvement in those with high levels of anxiety who used the programme, helping them to greatly reduce their anxiety symptoms and improve overall mood.

You start by taking a two-minute quiz to discover your Anxiety Type and identify the types of thoughts and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck.
Then, after understanding your challenges and priorities, Daylight guides you through interactive exercises to tackle your worries and feelings.
These exercises help you learn to relax, change your perspective on anxious thoughts, and address your fears, so that you can feel more present and in-control.
