You are always welcome at the Sleep and Health Clinic


Sound sleep. Good health Humans spend approximately one third of their lives sleeping. Sleep occurs in all living organisms and is a vital part of our functioning. Sleep occurs at night in cycles; light


sleep, deep sleep, then ‘dream state’ or REM sleep. Each cycle lasts approxi- mately 90 minutes. We have three to four cycles in an average night. We need, on average, seven to eight hours’ sleep to function well. If sleep is disturbed, we can compen-


sate for a short time, but the processes for coping will eventually wear out and we’ll start to feel tired or sleepy during the day. Memory function decreases, resulting in more forgetfulness. Disturbances in sleep can occur due


to heavy snoring and sleep apnoea, a breathing condition that causes tempo- rary closure of the throat muscles. Snoring is one of the most common


causes for disrupting a partner’s sleep and can result in relationship issues. Te Sleep & Health Clinic looks


to provide high-quality, safe and evidenced approach for all aspects of sleep. It delivers bespoke holistic care diagnosing and treating sleep disorders and promoting good sleep. Te complete package incorporates all aspects of health and environmental impacts on


the quality and pattern of sleep. Tis includes nutritional and lifestyle advice so sleep is protected and improved. Te specialised team has more than


20 years’ experience and expertise looking after people who suffer from sleep disorders in the National Health Service. Innovative and evidence-based techniques are used to improve sleep. Te Sleep & Health Clinic works in central and outer London locations Te team offers full diagnostic home-

SomnoDent. SomnoDent is a device that’s worn in the mouth during sleep to treat the symp- toms of obstructive sleep apnoea. Clinically validated, SomnoDent


devices are ISO-certified as a medical device. Tey offer the utmost in quality, comfort and convenience. SomnoDent is made-to-measure


based on dental impressions or intraoral scans. Te device consists of


an upper and lower dental plate. Te patented wing-coupling component allows the lower jaw to be moved gently forward into the desired therapeutic position to provide effective treatment. Tis forward movement


allows the


airways to remain open during sleep and prevents upper airway tissue vibra- tion — a common cause of loud snoring. Te unique design, unlike other


devices, allows the user to close their lips and can be accurately fitted over crowns and bridges. It’s also suitable for patients with dentures. SomnoDent is very comfortable to


wear, allowing speech and drinking at night and causing no feelings of claustrophobia. Te SMH B-Flex mate- rial inside the device has resulted in a high level of patient satisfaction. Te device can be adjusted in increments to


find the optimum therapeutic


position. Te highest quality acrylic is used in the device, which means it won’t discolour or attract odours and the SomnoDent device is discreet when worn. It’s small, handy and easy to travel with. More than 500,000 patients have


now been treated with SomnoDent worldwide. It’s an effective alternative to a CPAP mask, especially for patients with mild or moderate OSA.
