Sleepstation is the drug-free solution to overcoming insomnia. The service is clinically proven to cure long term sleep problems through an innovative digital platform delivering personalised CBTi.
The NHS service was developed in partnership with Newcastle upon Tyne Hospital’s Trust. Where Sleepstation is available on the NHS in the UK, the service is delivered via Newcastle Hospitals. As Sleepstation is an online service, patients do not need to come to Newcastle, or be based in Newcastle to access Sleepstation on the NHS.
Our sleep doctor
Dr. Kirstie Anderson, one of the UK’s foremost sleep specialists, co-founded Sleepstation and helped design the online service. Patients are guided through the insomnia therapy via weekly video sessions developed by Dr Anderson.
Dr. Anderson, who runs one of the largest sleep clinics in the UK, helped create Sleepstation to make CBTi available and easily accessible for patients all over the UK.
The key thing about Sleepstation is that it’s personalised for each user. If a patient puts a particular pattern into their diary it will change the programme to make it fit their sleep pattern.

FAQs
Sleepstation CBTi uses proven cognitive and behavioural methods, along with personalised guidance, to help you understand your sleep and make meaningful changes over time. You’ll start by sharing information about your sleep patterns and routines so we can build a personalised plan for you. As you move through the programme, you’ll receive ongoing guidance and encouragement to help you apply the techniques and stay on track.
Sleepstation CBTi is based on the methods used in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I has been studied for decades and is recommended by organisations such as NICE as the first-line approach for persistent insomnia. It focuses on changing the habits, thoughts and routines that keep sleep difficulties going and helping you build healthier, more sustainable sleep patterns.
