Sleep Disorders Assessment & Treatment

Specialist clinical evaluation and treatment for insomnia and sleep disorders, led by Dr Ng Beng Yeong — a former Senior Consultant at SGH's Sleep Disorders Unit. Combines psychiatric assessment, evidence-based behavioural therapy, and pharmacological management for chronic insomnia and related sleep disturbances.

Dr Ng Beng Yeong's sleep medicine background is unusually strong for a private psychiatry practice in Singapore. During his tenure at Singapore General Hospital, Dr Ng was a Senior Consultant in both the Department of Psychiatry and the Sleep Disorders Unit — giving him dual expertise in the psychiatric and physiological dimensions of sleep that most private clinics cannot replicate. Sleep disorders addressed at the clinic include chronic insomnia disorder, sleep-maintenance and sleep-onset insomnia, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, shift-work sleep disorder, nightmare disorder, and sleep disturbances secondary to psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Dr Ng's psychiatric background means that comorbid conditions — which are the rule rather than the exception in clinical sleep medicine — are assessed and managed concurrently, rather than referred onward. Treatment is tailored to the individual clinical presentation and may incorporate evidence-based cognitive and behavioural approaches (including elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, CBT-I — the international first-line guideline-recommended treatment for chronic insomnia), sleep hygiene optimisation, stimulus control, and pharmacological management where clinically indicated. Dr Ng's psychiatric prescribing authority means he can initiate, adjust, or deprescribe sleep medications with appropriate clinical oversight — including hypnotics, melatonin formulations, and off-label psychiatric medications used in sleep medicine. For patients struggling with persistent sleep problems that have not responded to GP-level management, or who are seeking to reduce long-term reliance on sleeping medication under medical supervision, this clinic provides a credible specialist pathway. Dr Ng previously served as President of the Singapore Sleep Society (2006–2008), reflecting his standing in the local sleep medicine community.
