Editorial policy

Who writes the guides

Guides are written by the Sleep Clinic Guide editorial team and checked against published guidance from the NHLBI, the AASM, the NHS and MedlinePlus before publication. We do not publish a byline for a clinician who has not reviewed the page, and we do not claim medical review that has not happened.

Sourcing

Every guide cites at least three primary sources inline, next to the claim they support. Numbers are used only when they come from a cited source; when a figure is uncertain we describe it qualitatively instead.

What we refuse to publish

  • Invented statistics, prices, dates or study results.
  • Dosages or instructions that amount to treatment advice.
  • “Best clinic” rankings or paid placement presented as editorial judgement.
  • Reviews or ratings we have not received.

Directory listings

Listings are factual business records: name, address, phone, website, coordinates, listed services and public rating. They are not endorsements. A practice cannot pay to be added, moved or removed.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, we correct it and note the change. Send corrections to the address on the about page.
