If you have very severe symptoms we strongly recommend that you see a GP and a psychologist and/or psychiatrist for assessment and treatment.
We recommend discussing this course with your GP or other health professionals to ensure it's the right fit for you. Your GP can provide guidance and help you make an informed decision. You can also begin by completing our online assessment, which offers insights to support your conversation with them.
Sleep affects how we think, feel, and cope. And when sleep’s off, everything can feel harder.
For some people, poor sleep is one of the first signs of stress, burnout, anxiety, or low mood. For others, poor mental health and difficulties coping make it harder to get good sleep - worrying about sleep, feeling anxious at night, or struggling to relax even when they’re exhausted. And for others, long-term difficulties with sleep and its impacts have understandable impacts on how they feel and their mental health.
This course helps you understand those patterns, break the cycle, and develop habits that support both your sleep and your wellbeing.
