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.

If you’re waking up with a dry mouth, mask leaks, red marks, or you’re ripping your mask off overnight, it’s often a fit + seal issue (not “you failing at CPAP”). The right mask should feel secure without needing to be painfully tight.

Quick tips for a better fit:
🔵 Adjust straps while lying down (your face shape changes vs. sitting up)
🔵 Aim for a gentle seal, over-tightening can cause leaks
🔵 Replace cushions regularly so the seal stays consistent

This option is designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and supportive for a reliable seal.

🧠 Have you ever wondered why someone can get up and move around, yet still be asleep?

Here’s the key idea: sleepwalking is a non-REM parasomnia. It happens during non-REM sleep, when the brain isn’t fully awake but the body can still carry out movements, which is why people may walk, talk, or do tasks without remembering it later.

Sleepwalking often runs in families and many kids grow out of it by their early teens. But when it persists into adulthood, it can sometimes be linked to an underlying sleep issue.

And even if it looks harmless, sleepwalking can be unsafe and disruptive.

If you or someone close to you is sleepwalking regularly, a sleep assessment can help identify what’s triggering it, and what to do about it.

Swipe through to learn why sleep isn’t “just rest”, it’s active recovery your brain and body depend on. 💤

💤 Most adults need 7–9 hours (and consistency matters as much as the number).
💤 Sleep builds resilience: it supports mood, focus, memory, and immune function.
💤 Your daytime symptoms are clues: morning headaches, brain fog, irritability, low energy, or dozing off easily can point to disrupted sleep.
💤 Snoring isn’t always “normal.” Loud snoring, gasping/choking, or feeling unrefreshed can be signs your sleep quality is being interrupted.

If your sleep has been off for weeks (or you suspect something like insomnia or sleep apnea), you don’t have to just “power through.” The Sleep Institute can help you figure out what’s actually going on and what to do next.

Struggling with exhaustion… even after “a full night’s sleep”? 😴

Waking up with headaches. Fighting brain fog. Needing caffeine just to function.

It might not be stress. It might not be “just getting older.”

It could be sleep apnea.

CPAP therapy isn’t about comfort; it’s about protecting your brain, heart, and long-term health.

If these signs sound familiar, don’t ignore them.
Better sleep starts with answers. 🩺💙

Struggling with sleep and wondering if it could be insomnia?

Take a moment to reflect with these five quick check-in questions about your sleep habits:

1️⃣ Is falling asleep a challenge for you?
2️⃣ Do you feel exhausted before bed but suddenly alert once the lights are off?
3️⃣ Do you wake during the night and find it hard to drift back to sleep?
4️⃣ Does your mind feel overly alert at night?
5️⃣ Is it difficult to stick to a consistent sleep schedule?

💡 If any of these sound familiar, your sleep may be disrupted and support is available.

👍 If this helped, give it a like and share any questions in the comments.

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. 🩺💙
