Sheffield Adult Neurological Sleep Service

The Sheffield Adult Neurological Sleep Service based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital is a consultant-led service offering specialist assessment, diagnosis and treatment to patients with neurological sleep disorders.

We have excellent inpatient and outpatient diagnostic facilities offering full neurological and respiratory polysomnography.

Sleep disorders

We specialise in conditions such as:

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness due to narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia
  • Sleep walking, night terrors and dream sleep behaviour disorder leading people to act out their dreams
  • Night time epilepsy
  • Restless leg syndrome and other movement disorders of sleep

Referrals

Please note we do not manage pure sleep disordered breathing conditions such as obstructive sleep apnoea (please refer these patients to local respiratory sleep clinics) but we do help to manage complex, refractory cases of sleep related breathing disorders, especially those with comorbid neurological conditions.

Pure insomnia disorders do not come under the remit of this neurological sleep clinic unless they are associated with other neurological disorders of sleep as stated above.
