Boots Online Doctor Launches Insomnia Treatment Service

Insomnia affects around one in three adults in the UK and can lead to fatigue, reduced concentration, and long-term health risks such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Sleep challenges can feel especially tricky over the festive season, when busy schedules, late nights, and disrupted routines can make it harder to get a restful night. While occasional disrupted sleep over the festive period is normal, it’s important to look out for signs of longer-term sleep difficulties. These include persistent sleep issues beyond a couple of weeks, tiredness affecting daily function, symptoms that don’t improve despite sleep hygiene measures, or developing anxiety around bedtime. Those experiencing persistent sleep disturbances should consult their GP. Alternatively, the new Boots Online Doctor Insomnia Treatment service provides access to expert advice and treatment. The service includes an in-depth online questionnaire reviewed by clinicians, with a tailored treatment plan that may include prescription medication if appropriate. Patients can collect prescriptions from Boots stores or have them delivered to their home. The service also provides practical sleep hygiene guidance and points to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) resources, promoting a holistic approach to sleep health.
