Why can’t I fall asleep even when I’m tired?
There are many reasons — stress, poor sleep habits, or an underlying sleep disorder could be to blame. It’s best to talk to a sleep specialist to work out what’s going on and get practical solutions.
Why do I keep waking up during the night?
Frequent waking can be linked to stress, anxiety, or poor sleep environment. Sometimes medical conditions play a part too. A sleep specialist can help pinpoint the cause and guide you towards better sleep.
How much sleep do I really need?
Most adults need 7-9 hours a night, but quality matters too. If you’re always tired, struggling to focus, or feeling low, it’s worth chatting with a sleep specialist to check what’s affecting your rest.
What’s the best way to get back to sleep if I wake up at 3 am?
Try deep breathing or relaxation techniques — avoid screens. If it’s happening often, you might benefit from talking to a specialist to break the pattern for good.
Can stress and anxiety really affect my sleep?
Absolutely — stress is one of the biggest sleep wreckers. Good news: sleep specialists can help you manage stress and create better sleep habits.
Do I have insomnia?
If you struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up too early for three nights a week or more, you could have insomnia. A sleep specialist can assess this properly and help you get back on track.
Can I fix my sleep without medication?
In many cases, yes. Evidence-based approaches like CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) and good sleep hygiene can be very effective. Book a chat with one of our sleep specialists to see what could work for you.
How long does it take to improve my sleep?
It depends on what’s causing the issue. Some people see results in a few weeks with the right guidance. Our sleep specialists can give you a realistic plan tailored to you.
When should I see a sleep specialist?
If sleep problems are affecting your mood, work, or daily life, it’s time to get help. Don’t put up with poor sleep — talk to one of our sleep specialists and start improving your nights.
