Your Guide to Insomnia

Updated · Checked by our editorial team

How to choose

Favour services that offer or refer to cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia rather than defaulting straight to a sedative, and that screen for sleep apnoea, restless legs and shift-work disruption before prescribing anything.

How it works

Complete a sleep history and screening questionnaire, have a licensed clinician review it, and begin a behavioural programme or, where appropriate, a prescription with follow-up to reassess.

What to confirm

  • Access to CBT-I, the guideline-recommended first-line treatment
  • Screening for underlying causes rather than symptom-only prescribing
  • Prescription options managed remotely when they are appropriate

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about insomnia.

What is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia?

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is recommended as first-line treatment for chronic insomnia in adults, ahead of medication. It combines sleep restriction, stimulus control and cognitive work, and its benefits tend to persist after the programme ends.

Can I get sleeping pills prescribed online?

It depends on the medication. Several common hypnotics are controlled substances and are generally not prescribed through online-only services. Non-controlled options may be prescribed where clinically appropriate, usually after a clinician has ruled out untreated sleep apnoea and other causes.

When should insomnia be assessed in person?

See a clinician in person if you snore heavily or stop breathing during sleep, fall asleep uncontrollably during the day, have symptoms of restless legs, or if insomnia persists despite a completed CBT-I programme. These point to conditions that need testing rather than a prescription.
