The London Sleep Centre incorporated

What The London Sleep Centre incorporated does

The London Sleep Centre is a private, founder-owned sleep medicine clinic established in 2002 by Dr Irshaad Ebrahim on Harley Street, London, operating two city facilities (a Harley Street outpatient/day-patient site at 137 Harley Street and an overnight Sleep Studies Unit at the Weymouth Street Hospital). It delivers diagnostic and treatment services across the full spectrum of sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnoea, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, parasomnias, and circadian rhythm disorders, using a multidisciplinary team of consultant neuropsychiatrists, neurologists, sleep physicians, clinical psychologists, dental sleep specialists, and RPSGT-credentialed technologists.

Core diagnostic technology comprises overnight attended polysomnography (PSG) at Weymouth Street Hospital, ambulatory screening using the Embletta Portable Diagnostic System, wrist-worn actigraphy (Actiwatch), and home oximetry for breathing-related sleep disorders. Treatment offerings include CPAP machines and accessories, bespoke mandibular devices, exclusive PROVENT Sleep Apnea Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), hypnotherapy, acupuncture, myofunctional therapy, and dental sleep medicine for OSA, UARS, snoring, and bruxism. The clinic also conducts commercial and occupational sleep research (notably with Airbus on cabin comfort and with commercial driver companies on driver fatigue screening) and operates an e-commerce store for treatment hardware.

Revenue is generated through five streams: specialist consultations, in-clinic and home-based diagnostic studies, treatment hardware sales (including online CPAP retail shipping to the UK and EU at flat £30/£50 rates), dental sleep medicine services, and commercial research contracts. Patients access the clinic via GP/specialist referrals, self-funding, UK private health insurance, international insurers, NHS Clinical Commissioning Group-funded referrals, and direct self-referral; a 50-question online sleep assessment serves as a top- and mid-funnel lead generator. The practice is registered as a Sleep Research Facility of the European Sleep Research Society, with active teaching and research ties to King's College London and GKT Medical School, and the founder additionally operates The Edinburgh Sleep Centre (founded 2005) and practices internationally in South Africa.

Broad incumbents

• ResMed: Global incumbent in sleep-disordered breathing devices, CPAP machines, and connected health; supplies the CPAP hardware and home sleep testing infrastructure that London Sleep Centre deploys and resells.
