Getting Better Sleep Workbook

You may have already tried different ways to improve the quality of your sleep which haven’t really helped. If so, then the sleep workbook is for you. It’s also suitable for people who may not be comfortable seeing a therapist, as you can use the workbook privately at a time and place that suits you.

The programme is based on a well-established and effective therapy called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia. 

This is a much deeper and more intensive programme than many people will have experienced before, and it’s been shown to be effective for many people with persistent sleep problems.

Set aside time to read the advice, follow the recommendations, and complete the programme exercises and we’re sure that you’ll find a real improvement in the quality of your sleep.

Wwhen it comes to improving the quality of your sleep, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. What works for one person may not necessarily work for someone else.

Some people find it more helpful to go through a programme with the support of a therapist. 

If you want to find out more about the range of therapy services available in your area, you can use the NHS Talking Therapies Service Finder . 

There are also many causes of poor sleep, both physical and mental. If you don’t feel that the Workbook has been helpful to you, you could talk to your GP to help identify any other issues that may be affecting your sleep. 

You can also try our  Sleep Self-Assessment or the even more comprehensive Overall Assessment if you would like to assess your sleep more deeply, and get ideas about what is affecting your sleep.

You can also find a number of free NHS-approved wellbeing apps to download that can help you in achieving better quality sleep.
