Snoring

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.

Sleep Apnea

Sleeping (and breathing) are essential for life, yet it’s also something we usually take for granted. If you’re always feeling tired, you might be having trouble breathing while you sleep. Many people have sleep apnea (also called sleep apnoea) without even knowing it.

Could it be sleep apnea that’s stealing the energy and vitality from your days? While many people with sleep apnea snore, there are some who don’t.

Because sleep apnea can affect your health and enjoyment of life, it’s important to find out for sure if you have it. Effective treatment can help you to get back to being your best self.

If you suspect you have sleep apnea, you’re only a few steps away from a better night’s sleep and feeling like yourself again.

Just about everyone has the occasional bad night’s sleep, but when poor sleep becomes the norm, it may affect your life in lots of different ways.

1 Your weight, your work, your relationships and your enjoyment of life can all improve with good, regular sleep.

2 You deserve to feel your best with the energy to live each day to its full potential. So if you’re struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, it’s time to work out why easy, restful sleep isn’t happening for you.

Here are 5 healthy sleep habits that you can try:

  2. Be consistent
  3. No electronics in the bedroom
  4. Relaxation before bed
  5. Make a commitment

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.

Linda and staff regularly provide educational in-services to community groups, private businesses, La Trobe Uni and Bendigo Hospital for Sleep Medicine, disorders and treatments.

Our CPAP Clinic is also certified by the Sleep Health Foundation.
