Sleep help is at hand

Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyday function, from performing tasks right through to feeling happy and healthy.

Sleep apnea is a very common and serious sleep disorder where breathing throughout the night repeatedly stops and starts.

Thankfully, Pakenham’s very own Sleep Apnea Clinic is on hand to help you get your sleeping on track and diagnose sleep apnea.

Offering in-home sleep studies, the Sleep Apnea Clinic takes away the inconvenience and uncomfortable experience of undergoinga hospital sleep study.

The free sleep test will then lead to a diagnosis, which the clinic will help monitor through direct online remote access to sleep apnea machines known as CPAP and other treatments.

The clinic is located at 55 Main Street, Pakenham, Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 6pm and Saturdays 10am to 1pm.

To book an appointment, call 0413 731 278.
