Understanding sleep disorders
What are sleep disorders?
Sleep disorders, or disordered sleeping, encompass a range of conditions that impair your ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or achieve restful sleep. Insomnia, sleep apnoea, and restless leg syndrome are some of the most common sleep disorders. These conditions can lead to mental exhaustion, and emotional exhaustion, and even contribute to more severe health issues like depression and heart disease if left untreated.
Common symptoms include:
Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep (insomnia)
Loud snoring or waking up gasping for air (sleep apnoea)
Uncontrollable urges to move the legs, especially at night (restless leg syndrome)
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek professional help. Our expert team at Schoen Clinic Chelsea is here to provide effective treatments to manage these conditions.
Common types of sleep disorders
Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall or stay asleep. Symptoms of insomnia include waking up too early, feeling tired upon waking, or experiencing poor-quality sleep. If you recognise any of these insomnia symptoms it’s important to address it as early as possible. Left untreated, chronic insomnia causes severe impacts to your overall health.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment offered at Schoen Clinic Chelsea. Our 6-week course helps patients develop healthier sleep patterns and identify any mental blocks preventing restful sleep.
Sleep apnoea
Sleep apnoea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This leads to poor sleep quality and a range of associated health problems such as high blood pressure and daytime fatigue. Symptoms of sleep apnoea include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and waking up with a dry mouth.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a condition characterised by an overwhelming urge to move your legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations like tingling or burning. This can significantly disrupt your sleep.
Our sleep specialists at Schoen Clinic Chelsea offer treatments that focus on managing RLS symptoms, often involving a combination of therapy and medication to improve sleep quality.
Other Sleep Disorders
In addition to insomnia and sleep apnoea, our clinic treats a variety of other sleep disorders including:
Night terrors
Chronic sleep deprivation
Circadian rhythm disorders
Parasomnias

Addressing sleep disorders during pregnancy and menopause
Pregnancy insomnia
Pregnancy insomnia is a common sleep disorder affecting women during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester. Hormonal changes, discomfort due to a growing belly, frequent bathroom trips, and anxiety about the upcoming birth can all contribute to disrupted sleep. If you're experiencing pregnancy insomnia, you may find it difficult to fall or stay asleep, leading to daytime fatigue and irritability.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we understand the unique challenges pregnant women face. Our tailored treatments for pregnancy insomnia include safe, non-invasive methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i). Our sleep specialists help expectant mothers develop better sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques, ensuring a healthier pregnancy with improved rest.
Menopause and insomnia
Menopause and insomnia often go hand-in-hand, as hormonal fluctuations during menopause can lead to night sweats, hot flashes, and disrupted sleep. These sleep disturbances can contribute to chronic insomnia and increase the risk of mental exhaustion and mood disorders like depression and anxiety.
Our clinic provides comprehensive care for women experiencing menopause-related insomnia. Through a combination of CBT-i, lifestyle changes, and, where necessary, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in collaboration with your healthcare provider, we aim to improve your sleep quality and overall well-being during this transition.
If you're dealing with pregnancy insomnia or menopause and insomnia, don't hesitate to reach out to our expert team at Schoen Clinic Chelsea for personalised, private sleep disorder treatments.
Getting a diagnosis of a sleep disorder
If you or a loved one has been struggling with their sleep, a medical diagnosis will help get to the bottom of any underlying condition, and help you to get on the right path to a good night’s sleep.
The process might seem daunting, but it's an important first step to help you recover from disordered sleeping. The first step to getting a diagnosis for a sleep-related condition would be to speak to a healthcare professional who specialises in sleep disorders. During a consultation, we'll discuss any symptoms you have, ask about your sleeping patterns, and any other health conditions you might be suffering from.
If your problems are severe or the cause is not immediately obvious, further testing such as a sleep study, or referral for additional testing such as home sleep apnoea tests might be recommended.
Getting a diagnosis means the next step can be treatment and ultimately, recovery from your sleep disorders. Our team specialises in evidence-based treatment that can help you live a more restful life.
