The University of Oxford, in collaboration with Big Health Ltd, is conducting an online study on insomnia.
Most people with insomnia have not only poor sleep, but also problematic daytime effects after a bad night. Therefore, the aim of the study is to find out whether digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (that is by web and mobile) can improve health, quality of life and wellbeing as well as poor sleep.
The study is suitable for adults aged 18 years and above who have persistent problems getting to sleep and/ or staying asleep.
