How Much Sleep Do You Really Need?A question I often hear is, “How much sleep should I be getting?” The answer varies for each person, but the general recommendation is between 7-9 hours per night. Anything consistently less than that can be detrimental to your health. While some people claim to function well on 5 hours or less, the reality is that they’re likely chronically sleep-deprived. In fact, less than 1% of the population has the genetic makeup to thrive on such little sleep—so chances a

How much sleep do you really need?

Despite the increasing recognition that sleep is not a luxury but a fundamental pillar of health, just like nutrition and exercise, we still see evidence that sleep is being sacrificed in favour of work, social commitments, and screen time1. Of course, we all have bills to pay, want to spend time with friends, and often turn to screens to unwind at the end of the day. This is a natural part of life.

 Understanding the Urge to Move — Identifying and Managing RLS
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a neurological condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs—often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. These symptoms typically occur in the evening or at night, interfering with sleep and leading to ongoing tiredness, poor concentration, and reduced quality of life.
At IP Diagnostics, we support patients with accurate assessment, appropriate testing, and practical treatment options to help manage RLS and improve sleep.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) - Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosing and Treatment

Sleep apnoea is one of the most common, and most under-recognised, contributors to cardiovascular disease. Characterised by recurrent episodes of apnoea (complete airflow cessation) or hypopnoea (partial airflow reduction) during sleep, it leads to intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, and sustained sympathetic activation.

Sleep Apnoea and Cardiovascular Disease: Why This Matters

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (CRSDs) occur when your internal body clock—the biological rhythm that regulates sleep and wakefulness—falls out of alignment with the environment or your daily routine. This can make it difficult to fall asleep, wake up at the right time, or feel alert during the day, even if you're getting enough hours of sleep.
At IP Diagnostics, we help individuals identify and manage circadian rhythm disorders through specialist assessments and personalised care plans, so your sleep can get back in sync with your life.
