When to seek help
Speak to a GP if sleep problems persist for several weeks, if they affect your daytime functioning or mood, if you snore loudly with pauses in breathing, or if you have any other concern about your health. Our guide on when to see a GP about sleep explains what to expect.
If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, call 999 or go to A&E. Samaritans are available 24 hours a day on 116 123. NHS 111 can help when it is urgent but not an emergency.
