Medical disclaimer

This website is educational

RESTNIGHT publishes general information about sleep, rest and bedtime habits. Everything on this site is educational. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for assessment, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.

Reading an article here does not create a clinical relationship of any kind between you and the publisher or any contributor.

We do not diagnose or treat

Nothing on this site is intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure insomnia or any other medical or psychological condition. We do not promise that any habit, worksheet or workbook will resolve a sleep problem.

Descriptions of research describe published findings; they are not assurances about what will happen for you.

Medication

Never start, stop or change the dose of any medication — prescribed or otherwise — on the basis of something you read here. Speak with the clinician who prescribed it, or a pharmacist, first.

When to seek professional help

Please consult a qualified healthcare professional if your sleep difficulties persist for more than a few weeks, are worsening, or are affecting your mood, work, driving or physical health. Seek urgent help if you experience thoughts of harming yourself, or if you fall asleep unintentionally during the day in risky situations.

About the workbook and diary

The workbook and printable sleep diary are self-guided educational tools. They are designed for reflection and habit-building. They are not a clinical assessment, and completing them does not replace a consultation.
