It is important for patients to see a sleep physician after having a sleep study to obtain a more detailed medical history. This will help diagnose if there are any other health issues contributing to your sleep problems. This could be anything from heart disease, your medications and mental health issues to respiratory disease which may affect breathing and oxygenation in sleep.
This appointment is also helpful for patients wanting to apply to ENABLE NSW for supply of a CPAP machine, as well as for forms that may need signing for heavy vehicle, commercial and standard driver’s licences.

“A Mindful Way” is an online course to help you sleep better and overcome insomnia, using the evidence-based, proven treatment approaches of CBTi (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) and mindfulness.
What is causing your insomnia?
The course consists of six modules, delivered one a week, for six weeks. In each module you'll watch a series of short, easy-to-follow video lessons teaching you all the skills you need to sleep better, including the five core components of CBTi. You'll also learn how to meditate and quieten a busy mind.
You'll need about two hours each week to watch the videos and complete the daily practices. Between each module, you'll have a week to complete your sleep diaries and practice your new skills, which will include daily mindfulness practices. You'll have all the resources you need to help you sleep well for years to come. In addition to the audio recordings of each meditation, you can download a detailed workbook filled with all the sleep tips and strategies you'll learn throughout the course.
