With most Dutch insurers, sleep exercise therapy falls under supplementary insurance for exercise or physiotherapy. No referral needed. We help you find out what your policy covers.
We use sleep exercise therapy, an evidence-based protocol covering seven domains at once: body, behaviour, load, relaxation, psyche, cognition and rhythm. Without medication.
Night shifts, small kids, exam week. Your plan fits your real life.
In Dutch public mental health care you wait months. With us you can start within a week.
Compare your options
There are multiple paths to better sleep. Here's how they compare.
Who is it for?
Exams, late nights, screen time: your sleep suffers. Read how we help students.
Deadlines, stress, a mind that won't stop. You function by day, but pay the price at night. Sleep therapy helps you break that cycle.
Lighter sleep, waking more often, less daytime energy. Many people think this comes with age, but it is treatable.
Experiences
"After three sessions I slept through the night for the first time in months. My therapist understood exactly what was going on and the plan was really tailored to my situation."
"I'd taken melatonin for years without results. Through SlaapWel I learned the problem was elsewhere. Now I sleep structurally better, without pills."
"As a student I thought poor sleep was just part of it. My therapist helped me find a rhythm in 6 weeks that also works during exam periods."
Reimbursement
Our sleep training falls under supplementary insurance (prevention category) with most Dutch insurers. No referral required.
