In collaboration with Soma Haus, this post is part 3 of 4 in our Sleep Awareness Month series. This month, we’re diving into the science of sleep—how it impacts our health in ways we often overlook and how we can achieve better sleep, better health, and better well-being.
You’ve been running on too little sleep for weeks, maybe even months or years. The effects have already set in—brain fog, slower recovery, higher stress, and maybe even weight gain or weakened immunity.
If you want a refresh of what happens to the body when you don't have sufficient sleep, take a look at our first blog of this series.
At this point, just “getting more sleep” isn’t enough. Your body needs to actively repair the damage that sleep deprivation has caused. The good news? It’s possible to reset, restore, and rebuild your sleep health—and Soma Haus can help.
How to Repair Sleep Damage With Soma Haus
Soma Haus is a multidisciplinary wellness clinic in Singapore founded by Kathy Gabriel, offering holistic treatments that focus on both body and mind. "People come to us for all sorts of reasons—whether they’re recovering from an injury, trying to sleep better, or simply looking to feel their best and thrive," shares Kathy.
While the effects of sleep deprivation won’t magically disappear overnight, the right tools can help your body recover faster. Kathy explains how Soma Haus treatments do exactly that.
Reset Your Nervous System for Deeper Sleep
When it comes to improving your sleep, identifying your specific challenge is the first step. Kathy explains that they begin by asking clients:
- Do you struggle to fall asleep?
- Do you struggle to stay asleep?
- Do you wake up frequently during the night?
- Do you wake up feeling exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep?
- Or potentially a combination of a few (or all of the above)?
Once they pinpoint the issue, Soma Haus tailors treatments to address each individual’s needs. However, some of their most effective, go-to therapies for better sleep include:
- Float therapy: Induces deep relaxation that resets the nervous system.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): Boosts oxygen absorption, which helps with fatigue, brain function, and overall sleep quality.
- Infrared sauna & ice bath combo: A great way to regulate the nervous system and improve recovery.
- Craniosacral therapy: A gentle, hands-on treatment that promotes deep relaxation and better sleep.
Speed Up Recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
If you’ve been struggling with poor sleep, low energy, or slow recovery, your body might not be getting the oxygen it needs to heal. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps reset and restore your system, making it easier to recover from stress, fatigue, and sleep deprivation.
What is HBOT and how does it promote sleep recovery?
HBOT increases oxygen saturation in the body by placing you in a pressurised, oxygen-rich environment. This helps:
- Reduce muscle fatigue for faster physical recovery
- Improve cognitive function and mental clarity
- Support deep sleep cycles and regulate circadian rhythms
“It’s not just about breathing in more oxygen—it actually improves how oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, which can help with fatigue, cognitive function, and overall sleep quality,” shares Kathy. She adds that they’ve seen great results in people recovering from long COVID, chronic stress, and sleep disturbances.
Studies show that HBOT can enhance brain function and neuroplasticity, counteracting the effects of sleep loss on memory and focus. It also plays a key role in balancing stress hormones, which can make it easier to fall and stay asleep.

So, is it too late to fix our sleep?
No—it’s never too late to improve your sleep. While the effects of sleep deprivation won’t disappear overnight, your body has an incredible ability to heal when given the right support.
“The body is always working to heal and regulate itself, even for those experiencing chronic stress or illness,” says Kathy.
That said, real change takes effort and consistency. “We’re human, and bad habits can be hard to break. Work, family, and daily stress all impact sleep. It’s not as simple as just putting your phone away or using blue light blockers—those help, but true improvement comes from building a sustainable routine.”
The key? Start small, stay consistent, and give your body the tools it needs to recover. Explore holistic treatments, mindfulness practices, and sleep-enhancing therapies to help restore balance.
