Request a matchGetting a sleep assessment or sleep study in Newcastle
Two different problems bring people in Newcastle to a private sleep clinic: insomnia that has outlasted every bit of sleep-hygiene advice, and snoring with daytime sleepiness that sounds like obstructive sleep apnoea. They are treated differently, so the first appointment is about separating them. A consultation here is £180 to £400, usually within 1 to 2 weeks, and a home sleep study is arranged from it where the history points that way.
Waiting times for North East and North Cumbria providers are published in the official NHS statistics rather than estimated here, so you can check the current position for your own referral before deciding to go private. Adult ADHD and autism assessment waits are not reported as a separate national measure, so ask your GP or provider for the local figure.

What a Newcastle sleep consultation covers
The clinician takes a full sleep history first: your actual night, how long it has been going on, caffeine and alcohol timing, shift patterns, snoring or witnessed pauses in breathing, and how sleepy you are in the day. Insomnia, circadian rhythm problems and sleep apnoea overlap from the outside and need separating before treatment, which is why a test on its own rarely answers the question.
If it is insomnia, treatment is CBT-i: sleep restriction, stimulus control, work on the thoughts that keep you awake, and a wind-down that survives a real working week. Six to eight sessions, tracked against a sleep diary, rather than an open-ended arrangement.
If it points to apnoea, a home sleep study records your breathing, oxygen levels and heart rate overnight in your own bed. You go through the results with the clinician, including what they mean for driving and blood pressure, and on to CPAP assessment where that is right.
Either way you leave with a written summary for your GP, so anything needing NHS involvement locally, a medication review, a referral, or shared care, has the clinical detail behind it. Fees are agreed with the clinician directly.

Common questions
How much is a private sleep clinic appointment in Newcastle?⌄
£180 to £400 for the initial 60 minute consultation, quoted before you book. A home sleep study is charged separately, from £250, and a CBT-i course for insomnia normally runs 6 to 8 sessions. No booking fee from us.
Can I have a sleep study at home in Newcastle rather than in hospital?⌄
Yes, and for suspected obstructive sleep apnoea that is the usual route. A small recorder is posted or fitted, you sleep in your own bed, and the results are reviewed with the clinician. Hospital polysomnography is kept for complex cases.
How long is the wait compared with the NHS?⌄
A private first appointment in Newcastle is normally 1 to 2 weeks. NHS waits for diagnostics and outpatient appointments in the North East are published monthly by NHS England, so you can compare the two routes with real figures rather than a sales claim.
Is insomnia treated with sleeping tablets?⌄
Not first. NICE puts cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia ahead of medication for long-term insomnia, and that is what clinicians here deliver, coordinating with your GP if a medication review is needed.
What happens if the study shows sleep apnoea?⌄
You get the severity, what it means for blood pressure, driving and daytime function, and a treatment plan, usually CPAP assessment or a mandibular advancement device, plus a written summary for your GP.
Do I have to tell the DVLA?⌄
If you have excessive sleepiness affecting driving, or confirmed moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, yes. Your clinician will document what applies to you. The current rules by licence type are on GOV.UK.
Can the appointment be remote?⌄
Yes. Adult insomnia and shift-work presentations are assessed well by video, and the home study happens at home regardless. In-person appointments are around the city centre and Jesmond.
