"Issues sleeping - Insomnia Clinic"

About: Royal Surrey County Hospital

(as the patient),

For sometime I have suffered issues whilst trying to get to sleep.

I was referred to the sleep clinic at the Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford.

For the past 6 months I have been on a sleep improvement programme with one of their Occupational Therapists specialising in Sleep (Louise who was brilliant and I can't say enough good things about!).

She sent me a sleep diary which I shared every 6-8 weeks which monitored my daily patterns and established how much sleep and rest I had and gave opportunities to see where I could improve. 

She shared several useful podcasts and articles about how the body works with sleep and the whole sleep process. This in addition to products such as a sunrise alarm clock have helped me improve my sleep.

I thoroughly recommend this service.
