Craig L. Phillips is a Sleep Medicine doctor based in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Craig’s work is centred on how people sleep and how their body copes during the night. In many cases, sleep problems are more than just feeling tired. They can be linked to breathing issues, low oxygen at night, and changes in metabolism that affect daily life.
A common focus is Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Craig helps look after people who snore, wake up often, or feel very sleepy during the day. He also looks at the knock-on effects, like cerebral hypoxia, which can happen when the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen during sleep.
Craig also supports patients where sleep and body weight go together. This can include abdominal obesity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. These conditions can raise the risk of ongoing health problems, including hypertension (high blood pressure). At times, improving sleep can make a real difference to how people feel and how their health is tracking.
Another key part of care is excessive daytime sleepiness. When you’re not getting restful sleep, it can affect work, driving, mood, and everyday focus. Craig takes that seriously and helps people understand what might be driving the tiredness.
Craig’s clinic also includes support around Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), where appropriate. Sleep can be affected by hormonal changes, and it’s common for symptoms to overlap. Craig looks at the bigger picture, so care feels connected rather than piecemeal.
Over time, Craig has built practical experience in sleep medicine, working with people who want clear answers and realistic next steps. He aims for calm, down-to-earth care, especially when symptoms have been going on for a while.
If you’re dealing with snoring, pauses in breathing, high daytime sleepiness, or health issues that seem tied to sleep, Craig can help you work out the likely causes and the best way forward.
