A good nights' sleep is most important for good health. Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep is detrimental to a persons' quality of life. Sleep apnoea and other sleep-related breathing problems are on the increase, and such conditions should be taken seriously.

Insomnia (Inability to sleep)
Narcolepsy (A recurrent uncontrollable desire to sleep)
Periodic rapid limb movements.
Sleep Apnoea
Snoring

Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital offers comfortable surroundings where sleep disorders are carefully investigated and assessed by a qualified Respiratory Medicine Specialist.
