Frequently asked questions
-
What happens during a sleep study?
During a sleep study (polysomnography), you’ll stay overnight at our clinic where we’ll monitor your brain waves, heart rate, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and body movements while you sleep. Small sensors will be attached to your scalp, face, chest, and limbs. The procedure is painless and designed to analyze your sleep architecture and identify any disorders.
-
How do I prepare for my first appointment?
For your first appointment, bring a list of your symptoms, current medications, sleep patterns (consider keeping a sleep diary for 1-2 weeks prior), and any previous medical records related to sleep issues. Wear comfortable clothing, and be prepared to discuss your sleep habits, lifestyle, and medical history in detail. You may be asked to complete questionnaires about your sleep quality and daytime functioning.
-
What symptoms indicate I should visit a sleep clinic?
Common signs that warrant a sleep clinic consultation include chronic snoring, gasping for breath during sleep, persistent insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, irritability due to poor sleep quality, restless leg syndrome symptoms, and waking up feeling unrefreshed despite adequate time in bed.
-
Does insurance cover sleep studies and treatment?
Most health insurance plans cover sleep studies and treatments when medically necessary. The level of coverage varies by provider and plan. Our administrative team can help verify your benefits before your appointment and discuss any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
-
How are sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders treated?
Treatment depends on your specific diagnosis. Options may include CPAP therapy for sleep apnoea, behavioural therapy for insomnia, medication for narcolepsy or restless leg syndrome, lifestyle modifications, weight management, or dental appliances. We create individualised treatment plans based on your unique condition and needs.
-
How long does it take to adjust to CPAP therapy?
Adjustment to CPAP therapy varies by individual. Most patients begin feeling benefits within a few days to weeks, though complete adaptation may take 2-3 months. Our team provides ongoing support, mask fitting adjustments, and troubleshooting to ensure your comfort and treatment success.
-
How does poor sleep affect my overall health?
Chronic sleep deprivation can significantly impact physical and mental health, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, weakened immune function, depression, anxiety, impaired cognitive function, and reduced quality of life. Quality sleep is essential for your body’s healing, memory consolidation, and hormone regulation.
-
What lifestyle changes can improve my sleep quality?
Beneficial changes include maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a comfortable sleep environment, limiting screen time before bed, avoiding caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime, regular exercise (but not right before bed), stress management techniques, and establishing a relaxing bedtime routine.
