Insomnia
Why trying harder to sleep can make sleep more difficult
Persistent insomnia is often maintained by a cycle of longer time in bed, irregular timing and growing alertness around sleep.
Preparing to open in England
Sleep care should begin with understanding the problem.
Anshino is building an online clinic for adults with insomnia, suspected sleep apnoea and other persistent sleep problems. Care will begin with a clinician, not a product catalogue.
Find your starting point
Different sleep problems need different routes.
These are examples, not an online diagnosis. The clinic will assess the whole pattern before recommending treatment or testing.
The planned pathway
One clinical thread, from first history to follow-up.
- BeforeQuestionnaire and sleep diary
Useful history before the consultation, completed at home.
- ConsultationMeet a sleep clinician
Understand nights, days, health, medicines and likely causes.
- If neededHome testing
A posted device when the history suggests sleep apnoea.
- AfterTreatment and review
A plan matched to the problem, with follow-up and GP communication.
From the sleep library
Useful reading before you ever book.
Plain-language notes grounded in NHS guidance and clinical evidence. Information can orient you, but it cannot diagnose you.

Anshino will not default to repeat sleeping-tablet prescriptions, promise a quick cure, or replace a clinician with an app.
In-laboratory studies, CPAP set-up, narcolepsy and complex parasomnias will be referred to specialist services when that is the safer route.
