While occasional snoring may not be a problem, regular nightly snoring sessions can be a symptom of something a little more serious and should be investigated. Snoring and sleep apnea (also spelt apnoea) are linked at an alarming rate – three in 10 men and nearly two in 10 women who are habitual snorers suffer from some degree of obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea prevents you from getting the healthy sleep you need to lead a refreshed, energetic life. So regardless of what is specifically causing snoring for you, if you snore — or if you suspect you snore — consider it a sign that something might not be right.

2011 was the next step in the evolution, more professional rooms into a shared medical clinic, and a name change to Bendigo Sleep Lab, to better reflect our current multidisciplinary sleep disorders facility and team.
After more growth the decision was made in March 2012 to buy a permanent location, where we are today in Golden Square! Many clients are still with us today whom remember the McCrae Street residence.
In 2012, we signed a contract with Fisher & Paykel Healthcare to service the Central Victorian region with the Airvo2 devices (medical grade humidification) for high complex respiratory patients.
In June 2013, we started a collaboration with Bendigo Health to supply clients with neonatal respiration monitors to help assist and monitor newborns.
In October 2019 BSL became accredited DVA provider, and commenced a direct relationship with ResMed.
In March 2020, Bendigo Sleep Lab closed for one month and every standard operating procedure changed due to the pandemic. We closed for one month, and re-opened catering continuously to the ever changing environment the pandemic caused to keep the business operational.
In February 2021 renovations commenced, with the aim of commencing in-lab sleep studies by the end of 2021.
In July 2021, our first in-lab sleep studies commenced and we now offer professional and bulk billed Sleep Psychology services with Prof. Gerard Kennedy operating out of Bendigo Sleep Lab.
