- Sleepio is a CE-marked medical device indicated for use by adults aged 18 and over and is compliant with DTAC.
What is Daylight?
In the UK, 6 in 100 people – over 4 million – are diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder1 but less than 50% of those access treatment.2
- Daylight is a clinically proven digital treatment that uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people gain control over their anxiety.
- After a few short questions, individuals receive techniques tailored to them, to help manage it.
- Daylight is instantly accessible and ready to check in, practise, or try a new technique at trydaylight.com/nhs.
Until now, there has been a significant treatment gap in access to gold-standard therapy for mental health

How does it work?
Primary care organisations use Sleepio and Daylight to help the one in three patients they see with common mental health problems like insomnia and anxiety. Clinical and real-world evidence shows that Sleepio and Daylight are safe and effective without the need for a prescription or referral. Following either direct access or guided by a clinical or non-clinical healthcare professional, patients are able to instantly access treatment via their desktop computer or mobile device.
