Snoring
Loud, regular snoring that disturbs a partner, with a check on whether breathing is affected too.
Answers for nights that leave you exhausted
Assessment for snoring, sleep apnoea and insomnia that has lasted for months, with home sleep tests you do in your own bed. A sleep doctor reviews every recording and talks the results through with you.

What we assess
Most people come because a partner has noticed something, or because months of poor sleep have started to wear down the day. A first consultation works out what kind of problem it is likely to be and which test, if any, makes sense.
Sleep apnoea
Pauses in breathing, gasping or choking at night, morning headaches and heavy sleepiness through the day.
Insomnia
Trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep on most nights, for three months or longer.
Restless legs
An urge to move the legs in the evening or at night that makes it hard to settle.
Shift work and body clock
Sleep that will not fit around night shifts, early starts or a body clock that runs late.
Daytime sleepiness
Dozing off without meaning to, assessed here and referred to a hospital sleep unit when specialist tests are needed.
We see adults and young people from 16. For a child who snores loudly or seems to stop breathing in sleep, speak to their own doctor.
How the home sleep test works
Most people find a night with the kit easier than they expected.
Consultation first
A sleep doctor asks about your nights, your days, your health and your medicines, and decides with you whether a test is useful.
Collect the kit
A sleep physiologist shows you how to fit a finger clip, a soft chest band and a small nasal sensor, in about ten minutes.
One night at home
Go to bed at your usual time in your own bed. The recorder runs by itself until you take it off in the morning.
Bring it back
Drop the kit at reception the next day. A physiologist scores the recording and a sleep doctor reviews it.
Results appointment
The doctor explains what the night showed and the options, in the clinic or by video.
Consultations and tests
Prices for patients paying for themselves. Whether insurance or a public health scheme covers sleep testing depends on your country and your policy, and every appointment comes with an itemised receipt you can claim with.

A sleep doctor reads every result
Every recording is scored by a sleep physiologist and then reviewed by a sleep doctor, who meets you to go through it. You see the traces, what they show and what they cannot show.
Options may include changes to sleep habits, a mouth guard made by a dentist, a CPAP machine for apnoea or the insomnia programme. Nothing suits everyone and nothing here is sold as a cure, so the doctor sets out the trade offs and you decide.
- Results in plain words, with the traces on screen
- A written report for you and, if you agree, your own doctor
- Referral to a hospital sleep unit when a home test is not enough
Is it worth a consultation?
These are the patterns that most often bring people to the clinic. Only an assessment can say what lies behind them.
| What you or your partner notice | What we look into first |
|---|---|
| Loud snoring with pauses, snorts or gasps | Whether breathing stops during sleep, usually with a home test |
| Waking unrefreshed after a full night in bed | Sleep quality, apnoea and your daily routine |
| Lying awake for hours on most nights, for months | Insomnia, starting with a sleep diary and a consultation |
| Nodding off in meetings or mid conversation | Daytime sleepiness and its causes |
| Feeling drowsy at the wheel | Please stop driving and speak to a doctor soon, then book with us |
| Legs that will not keep still in the evening | Restless legs and what makes them worse |
The clinic after dark
Evening clinics run late on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so the rooms are lit for the hours most patients can come.
After an appointment (example reviews)
The doctor put the recording on screen and pointed out every pause in breathing. First time anyone had explained it without rushing.
Six sessions, a sleep diary and some changes that felt odd at first. The psychologist was clear from day one that it takes effort and comes with no promises.
Evening appointment after work, kit fitted in ten minutes, results by video the following week. Straightforward from start to finish.
Questions about sleep testing
Does the clinic ask for a referral letter?
No, you can book with us directly. Some insurers and public health schemes ask for one before they contribute, and the rules differ by country, so check yours before the first appointment.
Is a home test as good as a night in a sleep lab?
For checking adults for sleep apnoea, a home test is often enough. For other sleep problems, or when the home result is unclear, the doctor refers you to a hospital sleep unit for an overnight study.
Will a CPAP machine cure sleep apnoea?
No. CPAP keeps the airway open while you wear it, so it treats apnoea night by night rather than curing it. The doctor explains this, and the other options, before you decide anything.
Do the doctors prescribe sleeping tablets?
They discuss medicines when they may help, along with their downsides. For long running insomnia the clinic usually starts with the insomnia programme, and any prescription is shared with your own doctor.
What about driving with a sleep problem?
If you feel drowsy at the wheel, stop driving and speak to a doctor soon. Rules about driving with a sleep condition differ by country, and the doctor explains the ones that apply where you live.
Can appointments be by video?
Results and follow up appointments can be by video. The first consultation and the kit fitting take place in the clinic.
