The Current Gap

What can pharmacies offer for sleep?

Pharmacies are often the first place people turn to when they're struggling with sleep. But the options available over the counter are generally ineffective.

Over-the-counter sleep aids

May be appropriate for short-term use, but do not provide structured psychological guidance.

Supplements and herbal products

Popular with customers, although not everyone finds them helpful.

Sleep hygiene advice

A useful starting point, but sometimes insufficient once worry become part of the problem.

GP signposting

Important when medical assessment is required, but customers may also want something they can explore immediately.

Another Option

Easy to signpost.
Same day access.

Sluzzle is an online programme for adults struggling with sleep, presented by experienced UK clinical psychologists. Customers work through short video courses privately, at their own pace, using any web browser.

Sleep-Specific

Focused on understanding sleep and developing more helpful habits, behaviours and responses.

Expert-Led

Guidance from experienced UK clinical psychologists - Not live therapy or counselling

Self-Guided & Accessible

Customers access Sluzzle privately, without appointments or pharmacy administration.

Evidence-based

Grounded in established psychological approaches - Not just a list of sleep-hygiene tips

Designed to do once

Customers choose how long they need rather than being expected to use it indefinitely.

Further Details

Our approach for sleep

People often arrive at Sluzzle after trying many different things to help their sleep:

Other routes people explore

Sleep Hygiene (e.g. no screens & exercise)

CBT-I apps / programmes

Supplements & Herbals

Meditation / Relaxation apps

Sluzzle is different because…

It educates beyond basic habits, routines and bedroom tips.

It’s not about strict protocols, tracking or sleep rules.

It doesn’t involve buying sleep aids and other products.

It’s not about trying to force a state of “calm” each night.

Everyone wants an easy overnight solution, but sleep doesn’t respond well to this.

Sluzzle helps customers approach sleep differently.

Our clinician courses focus on the common reasons people struggle with sleep:

Anxieties
Stress
Frustrations
Panic
Control
Self-Criticism
Perfectionism
Fixation

Not by telling anyone to “just stop worrying about it”, but by teaching evidence-based ACT & CFT psychological skills that help slow things down and lower the pressure at night.

How long Sluzzle takes

Most people need a month or two to learn and understand the new ideas and skills.

Sluzzle is designed to be worked through once in bite sized step by step 10 minute sessions.

People can explore a few sessions each week, rather than feeling they need to rush through everything at once.

Sluzzle contains different clinician courses inside, not because anyone needs to complete them all, but so they can choose the psychologists they like most.

“When I first struggled badly with sleep, one of the first places I went was my local pharmacy. I tried the usual antihistamines and supplements because they were immediate and accessible, but they didn’t address what was keeping me stuck."

Is Sluzzle suitable for every sleep problem?

No. Sluzzle is an educational programme for adults whose sleep has become difficult or stressful; for example, trouble falling asleep, waking during the night, waking too early, or feeling anxious and stressed around sleep. It is not designed to diagnose, assess or treat medical sleep disorders or other conditions that need clinical assessment, such as suspected sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome or narcolepsy. Sluzzle is not medical advice or emergency support, and is not a replacement for appropriate clinical assessment.
