Poor sleep makes you gain weight

Sleeping just one hour less than you need for 5 days is enough for you to gain almost a kilo of weight. Chronic sleep deprivation will stop those diets from working and make weight loss far more difficult. Take back control and appreciate the importance of sleep.

Verified patient reviews for the sleep doctors

Before visiting Mr Veer, my life was a bit off a mess. My sleep apnea was not just affecting me physically, but also mentally. I'd been put on a CPAP machine (by a different consultant) to help my breathing at night, but as a late 20-something, having to hook myself up to a machine every night was far from idea - additionally, my work involves a lot of international travel and working on Yachts where power supply is limited. This was an issue.

Mr Veer took the time to understand my needs and frustrations, and acted efficiently to ensure I had the best surgical outcome that not only didn't impact my life with a long recovery, but improved both my mental and physical wellbeing in a way I couldn't have imagined. I am now off CPAP and my sleep quality is phenomenonally good.

Mr Veer and his team are truly world class and I would highly recommend paying him a visit for any ENT issues. Mike Pickering International Yacht Skipper
Dr Desai explained everything in detail so no surprises. After taking impressions to make a bespoke device I returned after a few weeks for fitment of a device I wear at night. Which has stopped my snoring and improved my sleep quality. Very grateful for her help with this. Verified Patient Doctify reviews
I could never in a million years truly thank Mr Veer for the care and attention and above all the treatment that he has given me. I have a life again and I can now finally sleep and feel rested in the morning, I can't thank him enough! Christian IWantGreatCare reviews
