Feeling tired occasionally is normal, but persistent fatigue, poor concentration and waking unrefreshed may indicate that your sleep quality is being affected by an underlying sleep disorder.

Many people assume tiredness is caused by stress, ageing or a busy lifestyle. In reality, conditions such as sleep apnoea can significantly disrupt sleep quality without obvious symptoms during the night.

Poor sleep may contribute to:

• Daytime fatigue
• Reduced concentration
• Memory difficulties
• Mood changes
• Reduced productivity
• Increased accident risk
• Long-term health concerns

If you regularly wake feeling exhausted despite spending enough time in bed, a sleep assessment may help identify the cause.

Snoring is one of the most common reasons people seek help from our sleep clinic.

While not everyone who snores has sleep apnoea, loud or persistent snoring can be an important warning sign.

You may benefit from a sleep assessment if:

• Your snoring disturbs others
• Your partner notices pauses in breathing
• You wake feeling tired despite sleeping through the night
• You experience excessive daytime sleepiness
• You struggle with concentration or memory

Understanding the cause of your snoring is often the first step towards better sleep and improved health.

A Level 2 home sleep study is a comprehensive overnight sleep assessment performed in the comfort of your own home.

The study records important information including:

• Breathing patterns
• Oxygen levels
• Heart rate
• Sleep disturbances
• Sleep-related breathing events

The collected information is reviewed by a qualified sleep physician and helps determine whether sleep apnoea or another sleep-related condition may be present.

This provides valuable inforamtion for both patients and their GP when deciding on the most appropriate treatment pathway.

Lygon Sleep Clinic offers something many sleep providers cannot.

As a pharmacist-led sleep clinic, we combine sleep health expertise with medication knowledge and ongoing healthcare support.

This allows us to:

• Review medications that may affect sleep quality
• Identify potential medication interactions
• Support patients with chronic health conditions
• Work closely with GPs and specialists
• Provide ongoing local healthcare support

For many patients, improving sleep involves more than simply diagnosing sleep apnoea.

Many people are surprised to learn that some medications may contribute to:

• Difficulty sleeping
• Daytime fatigue
• Restless sleep
• Frequent waking
• Reduced sleep quality

Our pharmacist-led team can review your medicines and identify whether medication timing, interactions or side effects may be affecting your sleep.

This service is a unique part of the comprehensive support available through Lygon Sleep Clinic.

Receiving your sleep study results is an important step towards understanding your sleep health.

Once your sleep study has been reviewed, your GP will discuss the findings with you and explain any recommendations.

Depending on the results, recommendations may include:

• Lifestyle modifications
• Further specialist assessement
• CPAP Therapy
• Ongoing monitoring and support

Our team is available to help explain the process and answer questions along the way.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is one of the most effective treatmetns for obstructive sleep apnoea.

CPAP therapy works by delivering a gentle stream of air through a mask while you sleep, helping keep the airway open throughout the night.

For many patients, successful CPAP therapy can significantly improve:

• Sleep quality
• Daytime energy
• Concentration
• Mood
• Overall wellbeing

Successful CPAP therapy can have a meaningful impact on both short and long-term health outcomes.

Many patients feel unsure about committing to CPAP therapy before experiencing it themselves.

Our CPAP Trial Program allows patients to trial therapy before purchasing equipment. 

Trial Program Includes:

• Automatic CPAP machine
• Personalised mask fitting
• Setup and education
• Compliance monitoring
• Ongoing support throughout the trial

Should you decide to purchase a CPAP machine, a significant portion of the trial fee may be credited towards your purchase.

One of the most common reasons patients struggle with CPAP therapy is a lack of ongoing support.

Often, small adjustments can make a significant difference to comfort and treatment success.

Our local team can assist with:

• Mask comfort issues
• Air leaks
• Dry mouth
• Nasal congestion
• Travel advice
• Equipment troubleshooting
• Ongoing therapy support

Unlike online-only providers, you can visit us in person and speak directly with our team.
