Assessment of Insomnia

Insomnia is the commonest sleep complaint and chronic insomnia affects some 10% of the population.  Chronic Insomnia is generally thought to be caused by Behvaioural and psychological factors and the best treatment is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia.  However, many patients have coexisting physical sleep disorders. Diagnosing and treating these is essential for successful outcome in treatment of insomnia. We conduct a thorough assessment of the underlying factors before deciding the most appropriate treatment.  We provide CBT-I in appropriate instances.
