We were featured in looking at snoring solutions, and what actually works.

From lozenges to nasal strips to air purifiers, there’s no shortage of products promising a quieter night. But the reality is more nuanced.

As Dr David Garley shared in the article, snoring isn’t one-size-fits-all. Simple changes like sleep position can make a real difference — particularly if snoring is worse on your back. Even something as straightforward as using a pillow to support side sleeping can help.

Some over-the-counter options may help in specific situations (like congestion or allergies), but many don’t address the underlying cause, especially when snoring is driven by airway collapse.

The key takeaway:
If snoring is persistent, loud, or linked with symptoms like choking or daytime fatigue, it’s worth looking deeper.

Because sometimes, snoring isn’t just snoring.

Did you catch on this morning with and ?

Dr Garley was talking about wearable technology and sleep, and how, sometimes, it can actually make things worse.

While sleep trackers can be helpful for building awareness, they’re not always accurate. We often see people become overly focused on their data, second-guessing their sleep and feeling more anxious about it.

The reality is, sleep isn’t something you can control perfectly. The more pressure you put on it, the harder it becomes.

If your tracker is helping you build better habits - great. But if it’s making you worry more about your sleep, it might be time to take a step back.

Snoring isn’t just annoying, it can be a sign of something much more serious.

We were recently featured in .independent highlighting the real impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) not just on health, but on workplaces and everyday life.

Dr David Garley shared how sleep apnea fragments sleep so severely that people never reach the deep, restorative stages they need, leading to:

• Waking up feeling unrefreshed
• Daytime sleepiness
• Brain fog, poor concentration, low mood

And it doesn’t stop there.

Untreated OSA is linked to:
– Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
– Diabetes and high blood pressure
– Mental health difficulties
– Strain on relationships (yes… snoring is often the start of separate bedrooms)

So if you (or your partner) are:

• Snoring loudly
• Waking up choking or gasping
• Constantly tired despite sleeping

…it’s worth looking into, because sleep apnea is diagnosable, treatable, and often life-changing when managed properly.

At The Better Sleep Clinic, we make that process simple, from home sleep tests to expert-led treatment.

Do you wake up to go to the toilet during the night? It could be a sign of a sleep disorder.

One of the most commonly missed symptoms of sleep apnea is something many people wouldn’t automatically associate with sleep: night-time urination (nocturia).

Sleep apnea occurs when breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, usually because the airway becomes blocked or collapses.

Dr David Garley, GP and sleep expert at The Better Sleep Clinic, explains to that up to 8 million people in the UK may have sleep apnea, yet around approximately 85% remain undiagnosed.

Many people first notice nocturia before recognising other symptoms like loud snoring or gasping during sleep.

When sleep is repeatedly disrupted by breathing pauses, it can affect the body’s release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), the hormone that normally helps prevent the need to urinate during the night.

As a result, people with sleep apnea may find themselves waking to use the bathroom multiple times overnight.

Other signs of sleep apnoea can include:

• Loud snoring
• Waking up gasping or choking
• Feeling unrefreshed in the morning
• Excessive daytime tiredness
• Morning headaches
• Poor concentration

If you regularly wake during the night to use the bathroom and also experience these symptoms, it may be worth speaking to a healthcare professional.

Better sleep starts with understanding what might be affecting it.
