Sleepstation Recenzje 

I guess if you are reading this you have insomnia, anything is worth a try to get out of that hell.

My own experience of Sleepstation is that it helped me to break the many weeks long cycle of anxiety and zero sleep that I found myself in following pneumonia and a stay in hospital . I was completely manic and desperate for help. Having always been a poor sleeper I didn't expect too much , only to be able to muddle along like I had previous to this prolonged attack of panic , anxiety and total lack of sleep .

My GP referred me to Sleepstation as sleeping pills , melatonin etc did not work . My reluctance to take SSRI pills helped me enormously as they all seemed to need 6 weeks to take effect , so the 6 weeks offered by CBTI seemed a better chance. I therefore have avoided all medication.

I was so grateful to be able to have someone to tell about the terrible nights, and the structure is so helpful, you can turn to it at any time and get the feeling you are able to do something positive towards recovery . It gives one HOPE !
Initially the sleep deprivation was too terrible and I discussed this with my "coach" and we compromised, so you do need to be proactive with the advice. It does take too long for the reply to a question but in the end you do get a sensible answer.

I initially found the sleep diaries disruptive but I adapted to them and now I have finished the course I feel bereft without them. The helpful fact is that there is often a difference with how you perceive the amount of sleep you have had with the amount you have actually had.

I feel that there is a genuine desire to help by the people involved in the programme but I have to remove a star for the disgraceful fact that they closed down completely for TWO weeks over the Christmas period, that is one third of the entire course , and unacceptable for a company offering a service. It was just as I needed them and I had one question not answered for 16 days as a result .
However ......
Can I recommend this course ? Don't expect miracles but YES, it has really been worth it .

When I first started with the Sleepstation program I was sceptical that it was going to work.I have struggled with very poor sleep or no sleep at all .Now my sleep is a lot better, I feel more confident about managing my sleep patern.I would recomend Sleepstation to anyone who is having problems sleeping,they are so supportive. Thank you very much!

I've had sleep issues most of my adult life and I was finally at my wits end. My Doctor referred me to Sleepstation. With their help and support I've had a new lease of life and it's made changes to other aspects of my life. Having a personal coach was invaluable. I could message them with any issues and recieve support which was amazing. I've been given the tools to to fall back on should I need them to help me manage my sleep. Each week I recieved a progress report and from my personal diary they were able to point me in the right direction and between us we tweeked the programme to suit my lifestyle and needs.
I only wished I'd found out about them years ago.
Insomnia can be soul destroying but Sleepstation can help you manage yourself back into a normal healthy sleep pattern and educate your attitude and thinking about sleep.

Before starting the sleepstation program I was sleeping on average 3.5 hours. After completing 6 weeks on the program I am now sleeping 6-6.5 hours which is amazing.
When I first started the program I was a little sceptical that it was going to work as I had been having problems with sleep for a long time and it was progressively getting worse over the last 6 months to the point where I felt I needed help.
I would recommend sleepstation to anyone who is having problems sleeping, they are so supportive. As a result of completing the program I feel more confident about managing my sleep pattern. I feel more in control and so happy that I have done this without any sort of medication.

When I was recommended Sleepstation I thought it was just another gimmick. Not so. My attitude and approach to sleep has vastly improved along with a good understanding. The advice and tips really have helped and I no longer have the fear factor regarding my Sleep pattern.
Can't speak highly enough

The programme was much more intensive and thorough , requiring me to really engage more than I imagined ! the sleep reduction was particularly challenging at first - but I am experiencing the positive benefits of that now . I think the insights chart was very helpful too - able to see that I was heading in the right direction boosted my motivation.
Having previously over years experienced getting into bed very tired to then be wide awake and unable to sleep , and the restlessness that went with that - feeling pretty helpless to that - I’m now much more confident and therefore more relaxed . I’ve been falling asleep within 15 mins a lot, and staying more asleep. I can see it has been very helpful within 6 weeks and actually feel excited about building on this experience .

This sleep improvement programme worked for me, hence the 5 star review. I got it as part of an NHS trial. I went from having around 5h of light and broken sleep a night and feeling truly awful to sleeping a solid 8 hours and getting my mojo back!
The programme is far from easy, particularly in the early weeks when strict sleep restriction techniques are used. There were a couple of weeks when I could barely function due to tiredness. Also, the chat function is helpful, but does feel rather too slow (2-3 days for a reply), particularly when you’re starting sleep restriction and really struggling. This response time is fine later in the programme when you’re on a more even keel.
The programme includes good advice & techniques to get you back to sleep and I will stick with these.
Overall, Sleepstation worked for me, so thank you!

I have nothing but praise for the Sleepstation programme. I learned about it through conversation with a friend. I was fortunate enough to get a referral via the GP but having come through 'the other side', I know that even if I'd paid for it, I would have considered it worth every penny.
I've struggled with insomnia in one form or another for about 25 years and although I'd never consulted the GP about it, I had tried every 'over the counter' remedy I could find, as well as various sleep techniques, none of which have had lasting effects. I had reached a point whereby I was feeling fearful of going to bed because I could guarantee poor sleep, and feeling terrible in the morning - almost every day.
I'm now six weeks on with Sleepstation and can report that the programme is not a 'walk in the park'. It is an interactive process requiring commitment and effort in making personal changes. It presents challenges to long-held habits and beliefs about sleep, and it provides education through carefully collated resources. Personalised support plus plenty of tips and strategies enables the user to use techniques that combat negative thoughts and wakeful periods through the night.
It really has been a game-changer for me and I'm not there yet. I still have struggles with some of those changes, but I can truthfully say that I'm feeling positive and experiencing quality sleep 90% of the time and it's still early days. Thank you Sleepstation. n

When I first started I thought how does this work by phone and you never see anyone. It was hard to start but you must stay with the program otherwise you don’t gain anything and it won’t work properly. I was so amazed how it worked back at the beginning, I wasn’t sure if to do it or not, but now I’m so pleased a life has changed

I’ve struggled with poor sleep for years and in recent months it has been especially bad. After 6 weeks of coaching with sleep station my sleep is greatly improved. The programme is well researched and presented and it is wonderful to feel supported and understood . I highly recommended the course.

I have had problems with insomnia for many years and had fallen into many bad habits with regard to my sleep patterns. Many years ago I was running my own business, I was involved with 24 hr light and heavy vehicle recoveries and consequently being called out at all hours took its toll and this led to returning home at all hrs, wide awake so cups of tea and TV to wind down. It has carried on for decades and sometimes put a strain on family life and relationships with my wife. With having to have several operations in later life and having to deal with that made it even worse. My wife and rock told me about SLEEPSTATION and suggested I tried it; after all I had nothing to lose. It was hard at first to settle into what seemed to be strange instructions but I listen to the specialist team and after a couple of weeks of following this advise I felt better and had a goal to aim for. The help for me has made life a lot better, getting average good sleep times of 6/7hrs. Don’t think about it just get in touch with sleep station and feel the benefits for yourself. JUST DO IT!! Thank you so much to sleep station.

Only after two weeks of Sleepstation advice and resources which I found very interesting. I found myself sleeping much better. The relaxation techniques were very good and give you options in which one works for you. I continue for now sleeping much better and having deeper sleep. Thank you Sleepstation.

Sleep for me never happen, this has been an on going issue until I discovered sleepstation. Now I can look forward to a good night rest without having to worry about sleep. Sleepstation has instilled in me good sleep habits. If I fall off the wagon, I can go back to a sleep schedule to get back on track. There are interactive diaries and resources to help. Thankyou sleepstation.

I have suffered with severe insomnia for at least a decade and then I heard about Sleepstation and decided to give it a go. It is no quick fix but it has changed so much more than my sleep pattern in a positive way. I have felt well supported along the way and have followed suggestions backed up by the science. It has reset so much more than just my sleep. I was very sceptical but I highly recommend this. It takes time and determination and a realistic expectation but I'm very happy indeed with the outcome.

Its taken me a few months to write a review as I was so cross as to how I was managed by both my GP and sleep station. What I don't think is appreciated by clinicians (and I am one myself) is that insomnia is a form of torture and makes you feel physically unwell, esp if you are trying to work and haven't been able to get more than a few hours sleep per night for months. Sleep station offers nothing more than sleep hygiene that can be obtained from anywhere offering help with sleep deprivation. I had already done everything that I was advised by sleep station before I was referred. So my advice when approaching your GP re insomnia is, if you have already looked at all the options available to you to help you sleep, then sleep station cannot offer you anything else and is not the miracle cure that we would like it to be. It'll stop you being totally frustrated by the irrelevant and condescending remarks given to you by this online sleep service.

Having had problems with my sleep for years I was desperate for help with my insomnia, I had tried over the counter herbal meds, lavender pillow sprays etc but nothing worked. I didn't want sleeping pills, they are no good for you. My pharmacist referred me to the sleep station program.
What it does is retrain your sleep clock. I found it very hard to start with but if you want a good result you have to stick with it...I am now at the end of the program and I am finding it has changed my daily routine. I am now an early riser and feel so much more alive...in fact I feel like a new woman...
I now have the knowledge and tools to enable me to stay on track. I was told by my pharmacist that the program was proving to be very successful and has proved to be for me.

**** Updated after reply, which was within an hour of my review.

The reply from Sleepstation was as patronising as the service! I was referred by my GP as this is the ONLY thing they offer apart from sleep apnea clinics, not because she 'thought DCBTi would benefit me. If only they responded as quickly on the app!

Original review:
I was referred to Sleepstation by my GP after 4 years of insomnia after an emergency admission in 2019, leaving hospital after 4 weeks with heart failure, AF and under a neurologist. Since then getting no clinical help for this condition whatsoever even after seeing various doctors. Lots of cancelled appointments, with no reasons given. This came to a head when I was sent to a NHS sleep clinic for sleep apnea, of which all my medical records state I do not have. During this time I have used Minds Matter and various online sleep counselling/courses, all of which confirm I have chronic insomnia, and cover the basic sleep hygiene/MH assessments and CBT courses/methods. Nothing has worked, each one telling me it is a more in-depth problem, hence being referred to a sleep clinic within the NHS in the first place.

Once referred to Sleepstation, I went on to fill in my sleep diary (which is pretty much generic on all apps) only to find out it was impossible to enter my data! So I wrote a note explaining this each time. Then I also presumed they had access to, and would read, my medical records as my GP said they were an NHS partner. Nope! I was expected to reiterate over 4 years of heart and neurological conditions, treatments and symptoms all of which affect my daily life. Then the patronising messages came in reply to my questions/concerns. I'm at the stage where I've asked to be removed from the 'course' and will be speaking to my GP and showing her just how basic and AI generated the service is.
I'm appalled the NHS is basically selling this, which is what signing up to it is in reality, regardless if I pay or the NHS. After speaking to my surgeries' manager I have been told the NHS only offers a sleep apnea clinic now, removing insomnia as a condition they treat around 12 months or so ago. This also explains my 'cancelled' appointments over the past couple of years. Sleepstation seems to be a box to tick by GPs to at least say they offered help, with zero regard to how effective or suitable the service actually is.

Just want to add to the rave reviews of sleepstation. I came to sleepstation after experiencing severe insomnia. I was determined to stick with the course ( after all who wants to see every waking minute of a night ). The information and guidance that I recieved was excellent, and I am now back on track.If you read this and you,like me were thinking negatively,then dont! Just join sleepstation and benefit yourself.

Started this programme as I was suffering slight insomnia, ended this programme with major anxiety and getting help from my local NHS crisis team (who after researching Sleepstation were appalled by the programme structure). This programme may work for some people, but for me it was dangerous. The diaries and the sleep restriction made me super vigilant and anxious around sleep, which was something I’d never suffered from previously. Advice on the chat function was given to avoid doing interesting things of an evening. This lead me to become socially isolated and lonely. With the support of my NHS GP I started a private CBTI course. This has been transformative, and provided genuine one to one support - they emphasised going out and doing what I love in the evening. The one to one support I got on Sleepstation, was so poor, it actually referred to me by someone else’s name and answered questions I hadn’t even asked

I was averaging from no sleep to a minimum of 2-3 hours at best. Did the 7 week course with sleep station via my GP referral and I’m now averaging 6-7 hours most nights and falling to sleep within 15 minutes. I was really surprised as I’ve never been able to sleep. Sleep station are so supportive it is like having someone on hand 24/7 giving tips and therapy support that really does work or did for me. I was severely sleep deprived and hated bed time. My sleep is now normal and no longer an issue. Try sleep station.
