Home Sleep Study
Do you wake up feeling tired, struggle to stay awake during the day, or experience restless nights? Poor sleep isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a serious health risk affecting millions of people.
The science of sleep. The key to better health.
Did you know that there are approximately 80 different types of sleep disorders? One of them could be impacting your health, productivity, and happiness more than you realise.
Undetected and untreated sleep disorders could potentially lead to serious long term consequences for your physical and mental health, as well as your cognitive functioning and overall quality of life.
Untreated sleep disorder
Untreated sleep disorders in women
In women, reduced total sleep time, insomnia, sleep disordered breathing and weakened rest-activity rhythms are associated with poor cardiometabolic outcomes, including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. For women, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea and restless legs syndrome are predictive of depression.
Untreated sleep disorders in men
In men, reduced total sleep time has been shown to reduce testosterone levels and increase late afternoon cortisol levels. Lower serum testosterone levels in men have been associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, obesity and a higher risk of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks).
Polysomnography (sleep study)
A sleep study is your first step toward understanding and resolving your sleep challenges. Also known as a polysomnography, it measures brain activity, breathing patterns, heart rate, oxygen levels, and more, providing unparalleled insights into your sleep.
A sleep study can uncover the root causes of sleep problems which may be silently compromising your health. Whether it is sleep apnoea, COMISA, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy or another condition, a sleep study can unlock the path to better health and wellbeing.
