Sleepstation - Newcastle upon Tyne

After trying this programme I found it didn't solve my insomnia . It was expecting too much especially if you have a busy life schedule . I didn't find the programme helpful to me personally most of the things I was told I knew to do anyway and had tried. It felt like it was pushing your body so hard with no rest till you dropped and then after you were straight back to the insomnia . Very strange responses when you asked a question and the same response for everything . So your not supposed to look at clocks a the time during night but you have to diary how long you slept for and how long you were awake for . Spent most of the time looking at the clock so I could enter it the next day .

DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR NHS DOC IF THEY RECOMMEND THIS EXPENSIVE SCAM. Honestly my Doc recommended this and it has been such a colossal disappointment. The videos on tips might be necessary for some but for any half educated person they are so beyond basic. I know about clocks in the bedroom, setting a sleep routine and trying to get up at the same time. But when you wake up at 4am and can't get back to sleep until 7 am. That's super unhelpful. If you literally cannot google a good sleep environment and tips then maybe this is for you. But if you can, avoid it.

This program is a scam. Be careful to check it all out and ask questions and wait for answers even if it takes a couple of days. I alas did not wait for answers to my questions, I signed up paid a lot of Canadian dollars only to be told they could not help me and to see my doctor. They kept the money however in spite repeated request for a refund since there was no product given for the payment. That is called fraud I think, beware, they will take charge your card no matter what and fast!

Sleepstation is a game changer. The team are very supportive and the advice and structure of the program is well thought out. I'm not saying it's easy but if you are serious about wanting to improve your sleep then you will be committed to making some uncomfortable changes to your sleep habits and confronting issues which are affecting your sleep quality.
I have fully committed to the guidance and as a result I made some great early wins to the total amount of sleep I was getting, by the end of the 6th week I had my first 2 full nights sleep and have been averaging a total of 7.5 hours sleep for the past 4 nights which is amazing! Thanks so much to the team at Sleepstation.

I have had insomnia for my whole life (a realisation I only came to when looking to use this programme!) and have found Sleepstation really useful. It is an extremely convenient and efficient way of having access to professional sleep advice.

It brings together a lot of the (unexpectedly accurate) sleep solutions you can find on the internet in one place and helps you apply them systematically. It focuses on helping you explore what's right for you and equipping you with the tools to continue your sleep improvement journey.

What I found most useful was the sleep schedule built around my preferences - having a bedtime and morning structure has really helped me feel like I'm getting better quality sleep as a result.

Having access to and communication with sleep specialists is one of the best aspects of Sleepstation. I was able to check specific questions about my own sleep with them and they made valuable and tailored suggestions.

The written resources are also incredibly helpful - they help understand common causes of sleep issues for a wide variety of lifestyle types and suggest changes you can make.

I am really grateful to have had access to Sleepstation and look forward to continuing my journey to better sleep. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have had Insomnia for about 10 years and tried many things including a telephone, 6 session Cognitive Behaviour Course. Everything helped a bit but basically I have struggled on putting up with bad times as best as I could. I also have Sleep Apnoea and have just taken possession of a CPAP machine to help me breathe at night. This Sleepstation Course has been very positive from start to (nearly) finish with one week left. It has been a revelation in many ways being totally interactive and a therapist to ask questions of, with personalised answers, advice and suggestions on how to help yourself improve your sleep.
It has not been easy e.g. not being allowed to go to bed before 1am and then getting up at 7.30am every day. BUT I am convinced that by adhering to the advice offered, the vast amount of informative pdf files on every subject you could imagine, personalised videos encouraging you to continue with the "hard work" you WILL see results. There are no wild promises being made JUST good, sound advice and recommendations based on exhaustive and proven research.
My insomnia is not "cured" but it IS beginning to improve and my sleep is better. One major thing for me has been the reduction in worrying about the coming night... Would I sleep? Would I struggle? etc. I think if you are prepared to put in the work, follow the advice and guidance you WILL find things moving in the right direction and gain some excellent benefits from Sleepstation.
I am SO GLAD I have taken the course and would recommend it without reservation.

The advice may help some and some is beneficial as strategies to try, but all is available online and in books, so unless you can get it for free on the NHS I would not advise purchasing the programme. My sleep did not improve overall and I felt truly exhausted at the end of it. The advice offered individually was very vague, non specific and not very helpful.
