The Sleep Specialists at Sleep 729 offer our clients a detailed assessment for a wide range of sleep related conditions. This results in the establishment of the working diagnosis as a basis for subsequent treatment.
We offer individualized evidence based treatment to ensure adequate management of our client’s sleep problems. This treatment could be in the form of psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, behavioural and physical treatment modalities as required.
These are good practices and habits that aid a good night’s sleep.
These techniques help to quiet the mind, increase the state of calmness and to enhance sleep.
A type of psychotherapy called Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help relieve the anxiety linked to chronic (ongoing) insomnia because anxiety tends to worsen insomnia.
