Semisomnia: A modern sleep condition

Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

Our sleep patterns are getting worse and for many 21st-century living is the cause of poor sleep and insomnia.

Only 3% of us suffer from extreme insomnia, but a much higher and increasing number - 69% - suffer from tiredness and minor exhaustion.

New research from sleep expert Dr Neil Stanley and Horlicks has identified a new sleep problem - semisomnia.

Semisomnia is basically the inability to get a good, proper night's sleep and Neil Stanley puts it down to our modern lifestyle and pressures and strains that go along with it.

So, if you're one of the countless people up and down the country who struggle to get to sleep and then wake up a lot during the night, perhaps we can help you.
