Sleepfix

SleepFix is a self-help sleep therapy delivered by a smartphone application for individuals with insomnia and sleeping difficulties. The app uses evidence-based behavioural therapy (brief behavioural therapy for insomnia) and was developed by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and health professionals. It works by providing sleep schedules to individuals to gradually spend more time in bed asleep rather than awake in bed.

SleepFix self-guides the user through a new sleep schedule which aims to reduce excessive time in bed awake. Users complete a daily sleep diary which takes approximately 5 minutes per day to monitor the new sleep schedule and help retrain the users sleep. It is recommended that SleepFix users will use the program for 6 weeks to ensure any results are maintained, although the program can be completed in 3 weeks.

SleepFix is best used alone and not in conjunction with other sleep treatments such as medications or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as they may affect the efficacy of the SleepFix program.
