SWICA is committed to helping individuals with sleep problems
Sleep issues (such as problems falling asleep or sleeping through the night, or waking too early) which persist over a long period can have consequences for your health. In the short term, an individual's wellbeing, performance and ability to concentrate may also be affected. SWICA supports anyone suffering from these issues with coaching calls or an online course, and offers an online self-test for an initial assessment.
Do you suffer from a sleep disorder? Test your sleep quality.
Having the occasional bad night's sleep is perfectly natural and has no adverse effect on health, but a persistent sleep disorder should be treated. You can find out if you suffer from a sleep disorder by answering five specific questions below.
People who are plagued by sleep problems night after night can do something about it. Non-pharmacological therapies can have a positive impact on sleep behaviour.
SWICA provides support for sleep issues
Try to remain calm even if you experience occasional sleep problems. One convenient first step is conducting a coaching call with santé24. This will help you to put the problem in context and tackle it of your own accord. santé24 can also offer SWICA customers a psychological/psychiatric appointment and, within this context and where necessary, a scientifically tested online self-help sleep course. This consists of a number of modules which can be completed individually and independently. The psychologists at santé24 will accompany you through the modules and offer support, motivation and specific feedback. If, however, the sleep problems are the result of physical problems (e.g. loud snoring, restless legs or teeth-grinding), it is best to seek medical help to identify the best possible treatment.
