Sleep Medicine
Sleep Medicine has been operating in Charlestown for more than 30 years, and has been lead by Dr Antonio Ambrogetti the Medical Director. Sleep Medicine sees patients with ALL sleep disorders not just Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). We investigate and treat people with Insomnia, Restless Leg Syndrome, Narcolepsy, Abnormal Behaviour During Sleep (sleep walking, acting out dreams), Circadian Rhythm Problem (body clock problem).
We also see people for driving and occupational licensing
Our laboratory has the least intrusive monitoring system, our patients are not cabled to the wall or bed and are able to move around freely, unlike other sleep laboratories.
We are able to offer Home Sleep Studies where they are appropriate for the patient (although in- laboratory monitored studies are the most accurate and are the gold standard world wide) same day/next day of receiving the referral.
We provide the prescription and referral to recommended facilities for initial treatment with nasal CPAP for OSA (CPAP Trials), positional treatment (for patients who snore and stop breathing whilst sleeping only on their back), and light therapy for mood disorder and insomnia.
