Our Areas of Focus
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep-related breathing disorders where breathing is obstructed during sleep due to an upper airway obstruction.
If left untreated, OSA can lead to health problems that include hypertension, or even stroke, memory issues, and heart problems such as heart failure. Book an appointment with a specialist today for an effective treatment of OSA.
If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night for 3 or more nights a week you might be suffering from insomnia.
According to a study, Singaporeans are one of the most sleep deprived globally. Insomnia, sleep deprivation and disturbance may be associated with stress from life events, medical conditions, or medication. Don’t let sleepless nights affect your quality of life. Book an appointment with us for professional help.
Parasomnia is a disruptive sleep disorder where abnormal behaviour or movement occurs during sleep or when transitioning in and out of sleep.
The disorder is commonly associated with sleepwalking, sleep talking and night terrors etc. Speak to a doctor if you or your family member experiences parasomnia that might lead to injury or sleep disruption.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder associated with daytime sleepiness or falling asleep suddenly or unexpectedly.
Unfortunately, individuals suffering from narcolepsy are misunderstood to be lazy or unmotivated and is a condition underdiagnosed in teenager or adolescents.
Manage Narcolepsy by seeing our sleep specialist today.
A diagnostic sleep study is an overnight test conducted in a sleep laboratory or at home to diagnose sleep disorders. During the study, various components such as brain waves/activity, sleep stages, muscle and breathing movements, heart rate and oxygen levels are recorded and analysed during sleep. Specific components recorded may vary depending on the type of sleep study conducted.
A CPAP or BiPAP titration may be required as a treatment for certain sleep-related breathing disorders such as overlap syndrome, sleep related hypoventilation from obesity hypoventilation syndrome and neuromuscular disorders. During the study, patients are fitted with a mask attached to a CPAP or BiPAP machine which identifies personalised pressure/settings.
