What We Offer: Investigation and Treatment

Wake up feeling alive again. Get answers and a clear way forward for your sleep.

Sleep problems wear you down, and it's hard to know who to see or which test you need. We'll listen first. Then your doctor will suggest the investigations and treatments that fit your symptoms, and explain where each one fits in your care.

Sleep Investigations

Sleep study results in 7 to 10 daysNo GP referral required

Detailed Overnight Sleep Study (Nocturnal Video Polysomnography)

Tap to read more

An overnight study shows us in detail what happens while you sleep. It may help us look into daytime sleepiness that won't go away, disturbed breathing, unusual movements or behaviours at night, or symptoms nobody has explained yet. We also use it to check for night-time teeth grinding (bruxism) when a dentist or doctor wants a clearer picture.

What you can expect

Our sleep physiologist sets up the study with you. It records brain activity, eye movements, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rhythm and muscle activity, including leg and jaw movements, and there's video through the night as well. Afterwards we go through the whole night's recording in detail to help guide your care.

Actigraphy and Sleep Diary

Tap to read more

If you work shifts, get jet lag or go to bed at different times most nights, it's hard to say what your sleep normally looks like. Actigraphy shows us your sleep–wake pattern in everyday life, and we use it to guide your assessment and treatment.

What you can expect

You wear a small monitor on your wrist for two weeks and carry on as usual. Each day you write down your sleep times in a physical logbook.

Optional Gut Microbiome Investigation

Tap to read more

Your gut microbiome is the community of microorganisms living in your gut. Research on how gut health and sleep are linked is still at an early stage. The test is optional, and we look at it alongside your sleep history. It doesn't replace investigating or treating a sleep disorder.

What you can expect

We'll tell you plainly what the results can and can't show. Any advice we give is there to support your main sleep plan.

Category Two

Tailored Treatments

Your treatment plan depends on your sleep problem, your wider health, your daily routine and what you'd prefer. Your doctor will go through the options that suit you, including what each one can and can't do. Your plan might use one treatment or a combination.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Tap to read more

CPAP is a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. A small machine delivers air through a mask while you sleep, which helps keep your airway open and your breathing more consistent through the night. Treatment may help you feel more awake during the day.

What you can expect

We give you full medical guidance, and we're on hand while you get used to the mask and the machine settings.

Custom Made Dental Devices

Tap to read more

A mandibular advancement device is a mouthpiece you wear at night. It holds your lower jaw slightly forward, which helps keep your airway open. For suitable patients it can be an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Ours are custom made, overseen by a qualified dentist, and checked to see how well they work for you.

What you can expect

We fit the device carefully, then book follow-up checks on how comfortable it is and how well it's working.

Insomnia Treatment with CBT-I

Tap to read more

Not being able to get to sleep, or waking and not getting back to sleep, is exhausting and frustrating. If your assessment shows insomnia, your plan may include cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) with our trained psychotherapist. Over a number of sessions you look at the habits, thoughts and patterns keeping you awake, and work on practical ways to change them.

What you can expect

You'll get practical, evidence-based strategies to use at home as part of your treatment.

Psychotherapy for Sleep and Mental Health

Tap to read more

Sleep and mental health affect each other. Our psychotherapist offers psychotherapy if your sleep is affecting how you feel, or the way you feel is affecting your sleep. That includes anxiety about sleep, and the worry that can come with having a sleep disorder.

What you can expect

Sessions are confidential and go at whatever pace feels right to you. We'll talk about what's been difficult and how you're getting on.

CBT for Jaw Pain

Tap to read more

Grinding or clenching your teeth can be linked with jaw discomfort and headaches. CBT for jaw pain with our psychotherapist looks at your habits, your stress and how you react to pain. It works alongside your dental and medical care.

What you can expect

You'll learn practical ways to notice when you're clenching during the day, and to manage physical stressors.

Evidence-Based Diet Plan

Tap to read more

Nutrition is important to maintain good health and good sleep. You don't have to work out what to eat on your own. Our evidence-based diet plan is put together with an experienced nutritionist, and it can sit alongside the rest of your care with us.

What you can expect

If that sounds useful, mention it when you book and we'll tell you more.
