SLEEP THERAPY
Sleep is a critical pillar of health. Like nutrition, physical activity and mental health it is linked to increased longevity and healthspan.
Poor sleep health can have multiple significant impacts on human health and the opposite is also true. Healthy sleep has clear medical and wellbeing benefits:
Supports memory and learning, clears waste from the brain and promotes brain health, supports the immune system and helps recycle old cells and maintain our bodies and energy levels.
Poor sleep health is usually caused by three factors: poor sleep habits, stress and anxiety, or physical conditions.
If your poor sleep is caused by a physical cause like sleep apnea, excessive snoring, restless legs syndrome, acid reflux, chronic pain or disease then we would book you an appointment with one of our GPs who may refer you to a specialist in that particular area.
- Duration: how much did you sleep over 24 hours?
- Efficiency: how well do you fall asleep and stay asleep?
- Timing: when do you sleep?
- Regularity: do you have consistent sleep and wake times?
- Alertness: do you maintain good focus and attention during waking hours?
- Quality: do you feel satisfied with your sleep?
Our Healthy Sleep Clinic focusses on treating insomnia and is led by Dr Kat Lederle.
