The Sleep Institute

The Sleep Institute Comprehensive sleep assessments by Doctors, for Doctors Dr. Samuels is board certified in Sleep Medicine with the American Board of Sleep Medicine.

The Sleep Institute (TSI) was founded in 2020 in response to a clear need to address a substantial gap in medical care that exists in the province of Alberta with respect to the diagnosis, treatment, and access to quality care for the management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and other Sleep Disorders. The Sleep Institute is the only private company of its kind in Alberta to provide a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of sleep disorders including sleep apnea. The Sleep Institute mission is to provide a physician-lead, multidisciplinary and fully integrated approach to sleep health. The primary goal of TSI is to get the right treatment to the right patient at the right time and to provide top-notch quality care along with seamless communication and continuity of care with a patient's primary care provider.Several Credentialed Sleep Specialists on site - Somonologists, Behavioral Sleep Medicine Specialists, Medical Director: Dr Charles Samuels MD, CCFP, DABSMDr. Samuels is the Medical Director of the Centre for Sleep & Human Performance in Calgary, Alberta.

Waking up with a sore throat or stuffy nose after using CPAP? 😮‍💨 You’re not doing anything wrong, and you’re definitely not alone.

For many users, throat irritation and congestion aren’t signs of illness. They’re signs of dry air, mask leaks, or missing humidity.

The good news? Most CPAP side effects are fixable with the right setup, support, and adjustments.
Better comfort = better consistency = better sleep. 💙

If CPAP hasn’t felt “right” for you yet, don’t give up. Let’s make it work for your life. 😴

Ever notice that mid-afternoon slump and wonder why it happens?

Daytime sleepiness especially in the early afternoon is actually a normal part of your body’s internal clock.
According to our Medical Director, Dr. Samuels, your circadian rhythm naturally dips twice a day: once overnight, and again roughly 12 hours later, often around 3 p.m.

That second dip can cause fatigue or reduced focus even after a good night’s sleep.

Instead of reaching for caffeine, Dr. Samuels suggests a brief 10–20 minute nap to help reset alertness and support healthy sleep patterns.

When you understand your body’s natural sleep-wake rhythm, managing daytime energy becomes a lot easier.

We’ve been taught that sleep is about “discipline.”
Go to bed earlier.
Try harder.
Drink less coffee. 😴☕

But sleep isn’t a personality trait.
And it’s not a motivation problem.
It’s a health issue.

Poor sleep is linked to chronic illness, mental health struggles, workplace burnout, and long-term disease risk.

And no amount of willpower can fix a medical sleep disorder.

If you’ve been blaming yourself for being tired,
this post is for you.

Save this. Share it. Advocate for better sleep.
Because sleep care matters. 🩺💙
