Coffee is a surprisingly natural springboard for talking about sleep.

Our clinic coffee is now proudly stocked at Peggy’s on North Street in Bristol — and to mark the occasion, we hosted an evening talk on Sleep as the Ultimate Productivity Tool.

Alongside our clinical work, Dr David Garley and the team support elite athletes across Premiership Football, Team GB and Formula One, where the focus is clear: sleep drives performance and recovery.

But high performance doesn’t belong only to elite sport.

It matters just as much if you’re a frontline worker, a single parent, a business owner, or working a 9–5.

We all need to perform, and we all need to recover. Sleep underpins both.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to for hosting such a great evening!

Do you snore loudly and still wake up exhausted?

It’s not always just snoring.

Loud snoring, unrefreshing sleep, morning headaches or daytime fatigue can all be signs of sleep apnea — a common but underdiagnosed condition.

The good news?

Checking your risk takes just 1 minute.

If sleep has become something you worry about, fight with, or think about all day, you’re not alone .

Persistent insomnia isn’t only about what happens at night; it’s also about how poor sleep affects your mood, focus, and energy during the day.

The gold stndard treatment for insomnia is CBTi, and is recommended by the NHS and the British Sleep Society.

CBTi helps you:

• Fall asleep more easily
• Stay asleep for longer
• Calm a racing or anxious mind
• Rebuild trust in your sleep again

If you’d like a feel for how this works, we’re offering free access to a video from our online insomnia course.

Sleep apnea affects far more people than most realise - and the majority are still undiagnosed.

An article published yesterday highlights just how common sleep apnoea is in the UK, why symptoms are so often missed, and the serious impact untreated sleep apnoea can have on both physical and mental health.

Our sleep expert contributed expert insight to the piece, explaining what actually happens in obstructive sleep apnea, who is at risk, how it’s diagnosed, and the evidence-based treatments that can make a real difference.

Sleep apnea doesn’t only affect older or overweight people, and it doesn’t always look like 'just snoring'. Excessive daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, low mood and unrefreshing sleep are common red flags.

Raising awareness matters because once identified, sleep apnea is a treatable condition, and treatment can be life-changing.

Sleep apnea is far more common than many people realise, and it’s often underdiagnosed.

Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the airway repeatedly closes during sleep, disrupting breathing and preventing restorative sleep. Many people have no idea this is happening overnight, but feel the effects every day.

Common symptoms include:
• Loud, persistent snoring
• Pauses in breathing noticed by others
• Gasping, choking or snorting during sleep
• Waking unrefreshed despite enough hours in bed
• Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
• Morning headaches
• Brain fog, poor concentration or memory problems

A common myth is that sleep apnea only affects older, overweight men. In reality, it can affect women, younger adults and people of all body types.

In this video, Dr Garley explains what sleep apnoea is, why it’s often missed, and when it’s worth getting checked.

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s worth taking your sleep seriously and seeking proper assessment.

Sleep apnea is really common, but 85% of people don't know they have it.

If you have snoring, pauses on breathing, or choking in your sleep.

Or you're waking up unrefreshed and feel sleepy in the day?

You should get a sleep test done.

Sleep searches are at an all-time high, and we’re not surprised.

We’re really pleased to be featured in this month, talking about why quick fixes like mouth taping and obsessive sleep tracking often miss the point.

Better sleep is absolutely possible, but it rarely comes from hacks or gadgets. Understanding sleep properly and focusing on what actually helps makes the biggest difference.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by sleep advice and are not sure where to start, you’re not alone. Education and evidence-based support are at the heart of what we do.

Insomnia is a treatable condition, and the best treatment we have is called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, or CBTI.

This teaches you how to fall asleep quicker and stay asleep.

We have just released our online insomnia course, which covers the core components of CBTI.

If you're sleeping badly, it doesn't have to be this way.
