The U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends the digital app Sleepio as an effective alternative to sleeping pills, which means U.K. doctors can now prescribe it, according to CNN. The AI-powered app uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help users find rest without the side effects and risk for dependency that come with common sleep medications. The six-week Sleepio program works with users to identify thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may contribute to sleeplessness.
