Our sleep clinic at 9 Harley Street is at the forefront of diagnosis and treatment of people suffering with sleep related medical or psychological disorders.
LondonOur consultant led team utilises our state-of-the-art technology facilities to ensure that sleep related concerns such as insomnia and sleep apnoea (OSA) are investigated. Our consultant team can review sleep hygiene from the age of 12 upwards, ensuring that clients from all ages get adequate rest levels.
One of our consultants will fully review you and your medical history addressing concerns that you may have regarding your sleep and general health. Using this information we can investigate further diagnosing potential issues or disorders. Looking to ensure that you can get on with your daily activities after a good night’s sleep, without the stress of not trying to get a good night’s sleep.
We designed this oxygen sleep study for people that may suffer from OSA (Obstructive sleep apnoea). We apply a small clip on the finger or a small cannula in the nose whilst sleeping to monitor oxygen levels and heart rate during the night. The study lasts up to two nights and the sleep team can analyse results and recommend OSA treatment if needed.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is offered for people that are diagnosed with OSA. CPAP requires a mask that is placed over the face that delivers oxygen during sleep. This ensures that the air pressure of the device keeps airways open throughout the night leading to a more comfortable sleep.
Polysomnography (PSG) involves an overnight stay in hospital to measure variables which are associated with sleep using sticker pads that measure brain waves, eye and muscle movements when both awake and during sleep. We combine this information with information from the overnight oximetry and information from a light band on the chest to measure breathing. This comprehensive review of your sleep allows the diagnosis of several disorders.
The sleep latency tests (MSLTs) are performed overnight after a PSG test. A consultant will decide if this test is necessary as not all patients will require this test. MSLTs investigate daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy). You will keep sensors, which are used throughout your PSG and will be given the opportunity to have a nap during the day.
