Some people don’t struggle to fall asleep — they struggle to feel rested.

There’s a lesser-known sleep issue where the body sleeps, but the mind never truly switches off. So even after hours in bed, you wake up tired, heavy, and drained, wondering what you’re doing wrong.

Because nothing looks “obviously wrong,” many people brush it off or blame stress, overthinking, or lifestyle. Over time, nights become frustrating, mornings become harder, and sleep turns into something you worry about instead of enjoy.

At Centre for Sleep, we understand that sleep isn’t just about hours — it’s about how safe and settled your brain feels during rest. We help you uncover what’s actually keeping your mind alert at night and guide you toward sleep that feels real and restorative again.

If this sounds like you, don’t ignore it.
Reach out to today and take the first step toward waking up refreshed — not just awake.

Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder caused by working schedules that fall outside the traditional 9–5 routine. When your work hours clash with your body’s internal clock, sleep becomes fragmented, inconsistent, and unrefreshing.

People with SWSD often experience:
• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
• Excessive sleepiness during work hours
• Chronic fatigue, brain fog, and reduced alertness
• Mood changes and decreased performance
• Increased risk of long-term health issues

Over time, repeated sleep disruption doesn’t just affect energy levels — it impacts focus, reaction time, mental health, and overall quality of life, especially in high-demand professions like healthcare, law enforcement, and emergency services.
At the Centre for Sleep, we assess, diagnose, and manage shift work–related sleep disorders using evidence-based strategies tailored to your schedule and lifestyle.

Because your work may run 24/7 — but your health shouldn’t suffer for it.

The RCMP Fatigue Management Program is designed to address one of the most overlooked challenges in high-demand professions: chronic fatigue and disrupted sleep.
This program dives into the science of sleep, helping participants understand how sleep works, why it breaks down with shift work, and how fatigue directly impacts performance, decision-making, and overall health in law enforcement roles.
Through evidence-based education, participants will:
• Learn about common sleep disorders
• Understand the link between shift work, stress, and fatigue
• Explore practical strategies to improve sleep quality
• Discover tools to counteract fatigue on and off duty
• Build healthier work/life balance habits.

At the Centre for Sleep, our goal is not just better sleep — it’s safer workdays, clearer minds, and long-term wellbeing.

Because managing fatigue isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological sleep disorder that creates an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, especially at night or during rest. It doesn’t just delay sleep—it steals it.
The sensations are often described as crawling, pulling, tingling, or aching deep inside the legs, and relief comes only with movement—until you stop again.

Why RLS is serious:
• Prevents falling and staying asleep
• Causes severe sleep fragmentation
• Leads to chronic fatigue and irritability
• Impacts mental health and daily functioning
• Often worsens over time if untreated

Common warning signs:
• Symptoms worsen in the evening or night
• Temporary relief with walking or stretching
• Difficulty sitting still for long periods
• Daytime exhaustion and poor concentration
RLS is not anxiety, not muscle pain, and not something to ignore. It’s a medical condition that requires proper diagnosis and management.
At Centre for Sleep, we identify underlying causes such as iron deficiency, nerve dysfunction, or sleep disorders and create personalized treatment plans.

Stop fighting your own body at bedtime. Get evaluated and sleep peacefully again.

Microsleeps are sudden, uncontrollable episodes of sleep that last a few seconds often without you realizing it. Your eyes may stay open, but your brain briefly goes offline.

They usually happen when you’re severely sleep-deprived or struggling with an underlying sleep disorder.

⚠️ Why microsleeps are dangerous:
• They can occur while driving, working, or studying
• Reaction time drops to zero
• Memory and decision-making shut down
• Major cause of road and workplace accidents

Common warning signs you shouldn’t ignore:
• Heavy eyelids or frequent blinking
• Losing track of conversations
• Zoning out mid-task
• Head nodding or sudden jerks
• Feeling “awake” but missing moments

Microsleeps are not laziness and not something coffee can fix. They are a red flag that your brain is not getting the sleep it needs to function safely.

At Centre for Sleep, we help identify the root cause whether it’s sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, shift-work disorder, or severe sleep debt and guide you toward real, restorative sleep.

Don’t wait for an accident to take sleep seriously. Book a sleep evaluation today.

Excessive daytime sleepiness isn’t just fatigue. It could be Idiopathic Hypersomnia, a serious sleep disorder where even long naps leave you unrefreshed. Waking up can feel like pulling yourself out of deep anesthesia, leaving your mind foggy and your energy drained.

If uncontrollable naps and constant tiredness are affecting your life, don’t ignore it. A professional sleep assessment can help identify the cause and get you back to feeling awake and alert.

Book your consultation at Centre for Sleep today — reclaim your energy and restore your life.

Chronic sleep deprivation is one of the most overlooked health issues today. When your body doesn’t get enough quality sleep, your brain struggles to focus, your mood becomes harder to regulate, and your immune system weakens. Over time, poor sleep increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, anxiety, and depression.

Sleep is not a luxury or something you can “make up for later” it’s a biological necessity that allows your body and mind to repair, reset, and function properly. Prioritising sleep is one of the most powerful steps you can take for long-term health and wellbeing.

Blue light doesn’t just affect your eyes, it interferes with your brain’s natural sleep clock.

Exposure to screens at night like phones, tablets, laptops, LEDs suppresses melatonin, delays sleep onset, and disrupts deep restorative sleep. Many people experience difficulty falling asleep, light or fragmented sleep, morning fatigue, headaches, reduced focus, and irritability without realizing blue light may be the trigger.

Late-night scrolling, binge-watching, or working in bright lighting keeps the brain in a “daytime alert mode,” preventing the body from winding down.

At our Centre for Sleep, we assess:
• screen-time habits & circadian rhythm disruption
• delayed sleep phase & bedtime insomnia
• fatigue, brain fog, & poor daytime performance
• sleep deprivation in students & professionals

We guide patients on evidence-based strategies, healthier screen routines, light exposure management, and personalized sleep plans to restore natural sleep cycles and improve overall wellbeing.

When dementia affects the brain, sleep is often the first thing it takes away.

Restless nights, confusion, wandering, and reversed sleep cycles can make nights challenging for both patients and caregivers. Sleep problems in dementia are not “just aging” — they are a clinical concern and often treatable.

Improving sleep can support mood, safety, cognition, and quality of life.

If sleep is changing, don’t ignore the signs. Early evaluation matters.

Falling asleep anywhere, anytime — even during conversations, meals, or work — is not just tiredness. It may be a sign of narcolepsy, a neurological sleep disorder that affects how the brain controls sleep and wakefulness.

People experiencing this condition often struggle with sudden sleep attacks, overwhelming daytime sleepiness, and brief “microsleeps” where they lose awareness for a few seconds. In some cases, strong emotions like laughter or surprise can trigger sudden muscle weakness, known as cataplexy.

Narcolepsy can impact safety, confidence, work, relationships, and mental wellbeing — but with the right diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle guidance, patients can regain stability and quality of life.

At our Centre for Sleep, we provide:
• Specialist sleep consultations
• Advanced sleep testing & diagnostics
• Multiple Sleep Latency Testing (MSLT)
• Treatment & long-term management plans
• Supportive counseling & sleep hygiene guidance

If you or someone you know frequently dozes off unexpectedly or struggles to stay awake during the day, don’t ignore the signs. Early evaluation can make a life-changing difference.
Your sleep health matters — help is available.

At the Centre for Sleep, we frequently see patients whose insomnia becomes worse when sleep-tracker data leads to hyper-monitoring and increased anxiety around sleep.
While wearables can be helpful tools, continuous focus on nightly scores may heighten cognitive arousal, create pressure to “perform” sleep, and reinforce insomnia-maintaining behaviours.

Our clinicians use a balanced, CBT-I–aligned approach that prioritizes reassurance, psychological safety, and long-term functional improvement — not fear-based messaging or perfection-driven metrics.

If tracking your sleep is making you more stressed instead of more rested, our team can help guide you toward healthier, evidence-based sleep habits.
