Treatment Options & Ongoing Care
Treatment at our Forster clinic begins with a clinical consultation, where we assess symptoms and determine the most appropriate diagnostic pathway. If sleep apnoea is suspected, a Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) is typically arranged, with results reviewed by a specialist sleep physician. For insomnia, we assess behavioural and psychological factors that may be disrupting sleep and consider CBT-I for long-term support.
Patients who are prescribed CPAP therapy receive guidance on machine usage, mask fitting, and maintenance. We also assist with pressure adjustments and long-term usage monitoring. For insomnia cases, CBT-I sessions are structured to help patients understand and change sleep-disrupting habits and thought patterns. Throughout treatment, we provide follow-up check-ins, education resources, and practical support. Our Forster clinic is dedicated to ensuring that care remains accessible and responsive to changing needs, especially for patients seeking consistent support close to home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between sleep apnoea and insomnia?
Sleep apnoea is a physical condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often due to airway blockage. It commonly causes loud snoring, disrupted sleep, and daytime fatigue. Insomnia, on the other hand, refers to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early. It’s often linked to stress, anxiety, or irregular sleep habits. Both conditions require different approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
How is insomnia treated without medication?
One of the most effective non-medication treatments for insomnia is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). This approach helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that interfere with sleep. Techniques may include sleep scheduling, relaxation strategies, stimulus control, and sleep hygiene education. CBT-I is recommended as a first-line treatment for chronic insomnia and is supported by strong clinical evidence.
Is CPAP the only option for treating sleep apnoea?
CPAP is the most common and effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea, but it’s not the only option. For some patients, positional therapy, weight management, oral appliances, or surgical referrals may be considered. The best approach depends on the severity of the condition, anatomical factors, and individual preferences. A sleep physician will help determine the most appropriate plan.
