Loud snoring and daytime sleepiness

Loud snoring with pauses in breathing and severe daytime sleepiness can be signs of sleep apnoea, which needs assessment by an ENT specialist or neurologist. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: sleep study (polysomnography) availability; do not claim if not]

Treatment

  • Sleep habits: fixed wake-up time, bed only for sleep, no screens an hour before bed, limit caffeine after noon
  • Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I): the most effective long-term treatment
  • Treating the underlying cause, such as anxiety or depression
  • Medicines: used carefully and for short periods, as some sleeping pills can cause dependence

Sleeping pill dependence

Many people take sleeping pills for years without review. Stopping some of them suddenly can cause withdrawal and rebound insomnia. Our psychiatrists can help you reduce them safely.
