Common Conditions Treated in Sleep Medicine

GeraClinic sleep medicine specialists diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions online.

Insomnia

Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or early morning waking causing daytime impairment. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold-standard treatment β€” highly effective and deliverable online.

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)

Repeated airway obstruction during sleep causing snoring, witnessed apnoeas, and daytime sleepiness. Online assessment, home sleep study prescription, and CPAP initiation management.

Restless Legs Syndrome

Uncomfortable urge to move legs at rest, typically worse at night. Sleep specialists investigate iron deficiency, dopaminergic dysfunction, and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Hypersomnia & Narcolepsy

Circadian disruption from rotating or night shifts. Online sleep medicine provides practical management strategies, light therapy guidance, and pharmacological support when needed.

Parasomnias (Sleepwalking, Night Terrors)

Abnormal behaviours during sleep including sleepwalking, REM sleep behaviour disorder, and night terrors. Online assessment identifies safety risks and management strategies.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders

Frequently Asked Questions

Can cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) be delivered online?
Yes, CBT-I is highly effective online. CBT-I is the first-line recommended treatment for chronic insomnia, recommended above sleeping medication by major sleep medicine guidelines. It comprises sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, sleep hygiene, and relaxation techniques delivered over 6-8 sessions. Multiple randomized controlled trials confirm that digital and video-delivered CBT-I achieves equivalent or superior outcomes to face-to-face delivery. Online delivery also means your therapist can review your sleep diary data in real time and make precise weekly adjustments.
Can I be diagnosed with sleep apnoea without a full overnight sleep study?
Yes. Home sleep testing devices can diagnose moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea with high accuracy in appropriate patients. Your sleep medicine specialist prescribes a home sleep study, which records oxygen saturation, breathing patterns, and heart rate overnight in your own bed. The device is mailed to you or collected from a partner pharmacy. Results are interpreted by your specialist in a follow-up online consultation. Full polysomnography (overnight lab study) is reserved for complex cases, suspected narcolepsy, or when home testing is inconclusive.
