Insomnia Treatment Online
Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested? Get a real assessment online.
This assessment uses the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), a validated screening tool, to understand how much your sleep difficulties are affecting your daily life. CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) and sleep hygiene measures are offered as first-line treatment for everyone — a sleeping pill is never the primary plan, only a short-term bridge when interference with daily life is significant.

Quick Self-Check
Answer a few quick questions. This isn't a diagnosis — a real clinical assessment is the next step either way.
How We Work
A Care365 clinical reviews your ISI answers along with a safety and mania/psychosis screen — since new, severe insomnia can itself be an early sign of mania and needs its own assessment. With no safety or mania concerns, CBT-I referral and sleep hygiene/stimulus-control measures are offered as first-line treatment for everyone, regardless of severity. A short-term hypnotic like zopiclone or trazodone is added only as a bridge when sleep problems are significantly or severely interfering with your daily functioning — never as the sole or primary treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I just be given a sleeping pill?
No — CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) and sleep hygiene measures are the actual first-line treatment for everyone, regardless of how severe your insomnia is. A short-term medication is only added as a bridge if your sleep problems are significantly interfering with daily life, and it's meant to be tapered as CBT-I takes effect.
What is the ISI?
The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a validated screening tool used to understand how much difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested is affecting your daily functioning — it helps guide, rather than replace, the healthcare professional's assessment.
Why am I asked about mania or unusual mood episodes?
New, severe insomnia can sometimes be an early symptom of a manic episode rather than straightforward insomnia, so this is checked before treatment planning proceeds.
Why am I asked about safety and mood?
Any positive response on the safety screening questions gets a same-visit response — this is standard practice and is addressed with care, not treated as a side issue.
How long would I take a sleep medication for?
If a hypnotic or trazodone is prescribed, it's intended for short-term use only, with a plan to taper off as CBT-I and sleep hygiene measures take effect.
