NHS endorses Sleepio app for alleviating anxiety and depression

Wired:

Digital sleep programme Sleepio aids recovery not only from insomnia, but from depression and anxiety according to an informal NHS study.

Sleepio was used as a treatment tool as part of a trial in Manchester and was found to help recovery in 65 percent of cases, surpassing the NHS target for recovery following treatment, which stands at 50 percent. Manchester Self Help Services, under the umbrella of the NHS, has now provided Sleepio to more than 100 patients, and is continuing to offer the programme on an ongoing basis.
