Sleep is vital for your overall health, and disruptions to your sleep patterns can significantly affect your well-being.

If you’re struggling with sleep issues like insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, or other conditions, seeking help from a sleep medicine doctor is crucial. At Chest Clinic of Kathmandu, we are committed to providing the highest quality care for patients with sleep disorders. Our experienced sleep specialists use advanced diagnostic techniques to help you achieve better sleep and improve your quality of life.
Why See a Sleep Medicine Doctor?
Sleep medicine doctors specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions related to sleep. These professionals understand how essential sleep is to your body’s physical and mental functions. A sleep disorder may not just leave you feeling tired; it can also lead to serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and even depression. Some of the common reasons to consult a sleep medicine doctor include:
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Sleep Apnea: Repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep
- Narcolepsy: Uncontrollable daytime sleepiness
- Restless Leg Syndrome: Uncomfortable sensations in the legs disrupting sleep
- Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Misalignment of your body’s internal clock with the external environment
A sleep medicine doctor will assess your condition, review your symptoms, and recommend tests like a polysomnography (sleep study) or home sleep tests to accurately diagnose the problem.

Common Sleep Disorders Treated by Our Experts
Sleep medicine is a broad field, and our specialists are experienced in treating a variety of sleep disorders. Some of the common conditions we address include:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A condition where the throat muscles relax excessively during sleep, blocking airflow.
- Insomnia: Chronic inability to sleep despite the opportunity to do so.
- Narcolepsy: Sudden, uncontrollable episodes of sleep during the day.
- Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): An urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations, especially at night.
- Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle, often due to irregular work hours or jet lag.
Treatment Options for Sleep Disorders
Once a diagnosis is made, your sleep medicine doctor will discuss a treatment plan suited to your needs. This may include:
- CPAP Therapy: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It involves using a machine that helps keep your airways open while you sleep.
- Medications: Certain conditions like narcolepsy or insomnia may require prescription medications to help regulate your sleep patterns.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Your doctor may recommend changes in your daily habits, such as establishing a regular sleep routine, avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bedtime, and incorporating exercise into your day.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This type of therapy can be effective for people with chronic insomnia, helping to change the behaviors and thought patterns that contribute to sleep issues.
