Amie C. Hayley is a Sleep Medicine clinician based in Hawthorn, VIC, Australia. She looks after people who are dealing with sleep that just won’t settle. For some, it’s waking up a lot. For others, it’s feeling tired in the day, even after a full night.
Sleep problems can sneak into everyday life. You might notice drowsiness when you’re at work, watching TV, or driving. In many cases, people also describe excessive daytime sleepiness, where you feel like you could nod off without meaning to. That can be scary and frustrating, so getting the right support matters.
Sleep and pain often go together too. Long-term or ongoing pain can make it hard to sleep, and poor sleep can make pain feel worse. Amie works with patients who have chronic pain alongside insomnia or broken sleep patterns. The goal is to understand what’s going on and help you build routines and treatment steps that make nights easier and days more manageable.
Insomnia is a big part of her practice, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling like sleep is never quite “good enough.” At times, drowsiness and sleepiness can also be linked to sleep timing, stress, and lifestyle factors. She takes a calm, practical approach and focuses on what can be changed now, not just what might have caused the problem years ago.
Ongoing sleep care also means keeping up with new thinking in the field. Amie stays across current sleep research and uses that knowledge to guide everyday decisions about assessment and treatment. Where relevant, she also considers how sleep issues can connect with other health concerns, so care feels more joined up.
Clinical trials information isn’t listed here, but the focus stays on safe, evidence-based care. If sleep problems are affecting your mood, energy, work, or relationships, Amie helps you work through it step by step, with a plan that feels realistic for real life in Melbourne.
