How are sleep disorders managed?
Most sleep disorders can be managed conservatively with a combination of good sleep education, medication and behavioural modification. In certain conditions like obstructive sleep apnoea, specific therapy may include positive airway pressure therapy (pressurised air delivered via a mask) or upper airway surgery. Difficult cases are referred to physicians trained in the management of sleep disorders. Many Sleep Disorders Clinics are staffed by health professionals in multiple disciplines, such as neurologists, respiratory physicians, ENT surgeons, psychologists and psychiatrists.
