What we treat
Sleep disorders, properly diagnosed.
Sleep disorders affect quality of life, mood, work, relationships, and long-term health. Most are highly treatable once correctly identified. Here is an overview of what we see, diagnose, and treat at the clinic.
Most scientists agree that sleep does something important — something vital for life — although research has not yet pinned down exactly what. What is well established is that disrupted, fragmented, or insufficient sleep has measurable consequences for cognition, mood, immune function, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.
The good news is that the vast majority of sleep disorders are treatable. The hard part is identifying which one (or which combination) is driving your symptoms — and that is exactly what a specialist sleep clinic is for.
Conditions overview
What we diagnose and treat
Insomnia
Persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early — leading to daytime tiredness, poor concentration, and low mood.
Insomnia is rarely just "bad sleep". It is usually driven by a combination of physiological, psychological, and behavioural factors. We assess each patient holistically and design a treatment plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Repeated breathing pauses during sleep caused by airway collapse — strongly linked to snoring, daytime sleepiness, hypertension, and cardiovascular risk.
OSA is one of the most common — and most under-diagnosed — sleep disorders. It is also one of the most treatable. An overnight sleep study confirms the diagnosis and severity, and CPAP therapy or other interventions can dramatically improve quality of life.
Snoring
Loud, habitual snoring is often the first warning sign of an underlying sleep-disordered breathing problem.
Not all snoring is dangerous, but loud, persistent snoring deserves a proper assessment — especially if it is accompanied by daytime tiredness, witnessed breathing pauses, or morning headaches.
Restless Legs Syndrome
An irresistible urge to move the legs at night, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations that ease with movement.
RLS fragments sleep and leaves people exhausted the next day. It can be linked to iron deficiency, kidney disease, pregnancy, or genetics. Effective treatments are available once the underlying cause is identified.
Narcolepsy
A neurological condition causing sudden, uncontrollable daytime sleep attacks and disrupted nighttime sleep.
Narcolepsy is often diagnosed late — sometimes years after symptoms begin. Confirming the diagnosis requires specific in-lab studies (polysomnography followed by a Multiple Sleep Latency Test). Once diagnosed, it is highly manageable.
Parasomnias
Sleepwalking, night terrors, REM behaviour disorder, and other unusual events during sleep that need expert evaluation.
Parasomnias can be alarming for patients and their families. Many are benign and self-limiting, but some — particularly REM behaviour disorder in older adults — warrant urgent specialist assessment.
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
Falling asleep during the day, struggling at work or behind the wheel, even after a full night in bed.
EDS is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It can point to sleep apnoea, narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, insufficient sleep, or another underlying condition. A proper assessment is the first step.
Paediatric Sleep
Sleep problems in children, including snoring, behavioural sleep difficulties, and suspected paediatric sleep apnoea.
Children with sleep problems often present with daytime behavioural issues, poor school performance, or growth concerns. We have experience working with paediatric patients and their families.
