Sleep Health
Best Somnologist in Mumbai
Board-certified sleep specialists with 18–20+ years of experience treating sleep apnea, insomnia, snoring, and complex sleep disorders.
Sleep disorders affect millions of Indians, yet most people with sleep problems never see a somnologist. Instead, they visit their family physician, who may prescribe a generic antihistamine or sleeping pill without understanding the underlying cause. This band-aid approach treats symptoms, not the disease-and often makes sleep worse in the long run. A board-certified somnologist brings specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of sleep disorders, from obstructive sleep apnea (where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep) to chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.
Sleep health in Mumbai is in crisis. An estimated 30% of Mumbai's urban population suffers from insomnia, while undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea silently affects countless professionals who attribute their daytime fatigue to stress or poor work-life balance. The city's 24-hour culture-late-night traffic on highways, round-the-clock IT work, social obligations, and constant connectivity-has normalized sleep deprivation. Many people struggle with sleep problems for years before seeking help, unaware that specialized treatment could transform their health in weeks.
RemeSleep connects Mumbai patients with India's top sleep medicine specialists. Our somnologists-Dr. Poonam Natarajan and Dr. Subramanian Natarajan-combine medical training from elite institutions with practical expertise developed over decades of clinical practice. Whether you struggle to fall asleep, wake up gasping for breath, or feel exhausted despite eight hours in bed, a proper sleep assessment can identify the root cause and open the door to effective, lasting treatment.
Understanding Sleep Medicine
What is a Somnologist?
What Somnologists Do
Somnologists diagnose and treat sleep disorders using specialized training in sleep physiology, circadian rhythm disorders, and sleep-related breathing problems. They order and interpret sleep studies, manage CPAP therapy, prescribe sleep medications when necessary, and provide behavioral interventions like cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).
Conditions They Treat
Sleep apnea (obstructive and central), chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, parasomnias (sleepwalking, sleep talking), shift work sleep disorder, sleep-related hypoventilation, periodic breathing, and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders.
How They Differ
Unlike pulmonologists (who focus on lung disease), neurologists (who treat brain disorders), or ENTs (who address nasal/throat anatomy), somnologists specialize exclusively in sleep medicine. This focused expertise enables them to recognize subtle patterns in sleep physiology and apply evidence-based sleep science to treatment.
When to See One
If you snore heavily, wake up gasping, struggle to fall/stay asleep, feel exhausted despite sleeping, have witnessed breathing pauses, or experience vivid nightmares-consult a somnologist. Even if your symptoms seem mild, a somnologist can identify early-stage sleep disorders before they progress and impact your health.

Sleep Disorders
Conditions We Treat
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Repeated breathing interruptions during sleep due to airway collapse. Causes loud snoring, gasping awakenings, and daytime fatigue. Increases risk of heart disease and stroke if untreated.
Chronic Insomnia
Persistent difficulty falling or staying asleep, often accompanied by racing thoughts or anxiety about sleep. Our somnologists use CBT-I, the gold-standard treatment, to restore natural sleep.
Snoring
While snoring alone may seem harmless, it often signals obstructive sleep apnea or upper airway resistance. Our assessment determines the cause and appropriate treatment.
Restless Legs Syndrome
Uncomfortable sensations in the legs during rest, accompanied by an irresistible urge to move. Disrupts sleep and reduces quality of life. Highly treatable with proper diagnosis.
Shift Work Sleep Disorder
Chronic sleep disruption caused by working night shifts or rotating schedules. Our somnologists help align your circadian rhythm with your work schedule using light therapy and strategic melatonin use.
Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Includes central sleep apnea, sleep-related hypoventilation, and periodic breathing. Our somnologists use advanced diagnostics to identify the type of breathing disorder and recommend appropriate therapy.
