Sleep Disorder Assessment & Therapy

Specialist psychiatric and psychological assessment and treatment for insomnia, sleep disorders, and sleep difficulties, with evidence-based interventions including CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) and medication management.

Resilienz Clinic provides specialist evaluation and treatment for the full range of sleep disorders within a psychiatric and psychological framework, recognising that sleep disruption is frequently both a symptom and a driver of mental health difficulties. The clinic's approach begins with a thorough assessment of sleep history, sleep hygiene, circadian patterns, and the presence of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, or PTSD — all of which can profoundly affect sleep architecture. The psychiatrists (Dr Thomas Lee, Dr Lau Khai Ying) assess for conditions requiring pharmacological management including primary insomnia, delayed sleep phase disorder, parasomnia, and sleep disturbance associated with mood or anxiety disorders. Medication prescriptions are conservative and evidence-based, with a preference for non-benzodiazepine hypnotics and adjunctive melatonin protocols where appropriate, and explicit attention to minimising dependence risk. Concurrently, the clinical psychology team delivers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) — the gold-standard first-line psychological treatment for chronic insomnia, recommended above sleep medications in international guidelines. CBT-I sessions address sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring of sleep-related worry, and sleep hygiene optimisation. The multidisciplinary model at Resilienz means patients receive both psychiatric oversight and psychological treatment within the same practice, avoiding fragmented care. Virtual Reality Therapy is available as an adjunct relaxation tool for suitable clients. The clinic manages insomnia in adults as well as sleep-related behavioural difficulties in children and adolescents.
