Sessions on Sissoo can help you relax and wind down, so sleep comes more easily.

What people book

  • Relaxation and mindfulness: simple ways to calm your body and mind before bed.
  • Hypnotherapy: deep relaxation and new evening habits.
  • Yin yoga and sound sessions: slow, quiet practices to unwind.
  • Reiki: a gentle, restful session.

How it works

Sessions take place online or in person, in your language. Each practitioner shows their price and next free time on the booking page. Some offer a free intro call, so you can ask questions first.

What the research says

Start with better sleep habits. If poor sleep lasts for months, a doctor may offer CBT for insomnia, a talking therapy with the best evidence. NHS, 2024 · NICE, 2022

  • Relaxation and mindfulness: can help you wind down, but studies on insomnia are small or mixed. Limited evidence · NCCIH, 2024
  • Hypnotherapy: about half of the studies found better sleep. Results vary. Limited evidence · NCCIH, 2024
  • Yoga: may improve how well people sleep, especially older adults. Some evidence it may help · NCCIH, 2024
  • Listening to music: people felt they slept better in 13 studies. Sound baths have not been studied. Some evidence it may help · Cochrane, 2022
  • Massage: not studied well for sleep. No good evidence yet · NCCIH, 2024
  • Reiki: no reliable studies show it helps sleep or any health problem. Some people find it restful. No good evidence yet · NCCIH, 2018
  • Herbal remedies: valerian and chamomile have not been shown to help insomnia, and some herbs interact with medicines. Limited evidence · NCCIH, 2024

Checked 17 October 2026. How we rate the evidence. Sissoo earns a commission when you book; it never changes these ratings.

When to talk to a doctor

If poor sleep goes on for weeks, affects your day, or you feel very low, talk to your doctor. Loud snoring or gasping for breath at night is also a reason to see a doctor. In the UK, melatonin needs a prescription.

In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
