SLEEP MEDICINE IS A SPECIALIST MEDICAL PRACTICE THAT SPECIALISES IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF SLEEP DISORDERS
Sleep disturbances are very common. At least 4% (one in 25) of the male population and 2% of women suffer from clinically important obstructive sleep apnea (snoring and stopping breathing). Approximately 30% of the population complains of insomnia, and in 9% insomnia is severe (occurring at least 15 days in a month).
Appointments
To make an appointment you will need a referral from your GP or specialist. Referrals from the GP are valid for 12 months and from the specialist for only 3 months. You will always need a valid “in date” referral to see a doctor.
If you think you require a sleep study test, you will need to complete 2 questionnaires that can be found by clicking the button below.
You will usually be given a feedback form on a visit to one of our locations. If this has not been the case and you would like to tell us about your time with us, you can give us feedback via the button below.
Sleep Medicine operates on traditional Aboriginal land. We acknowledge the Awabakal people as the traditional custodians of the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle region and we pay our respects to Awabakal Elders past and present and the emerging Elders of the future
