About us
A breath of fresh air...
The most effective therapy for snoring and sleep apnoea is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP. Thousands of New Zealanders and their partners have discovered the health and lifestyle benefits when using Fisher & Paykel Healthcare's CPAP therapy. Drawing on 20 years clinical experience the therapeutic team at the Sleep Well Clinic bring this cutting edge technology out of hospitals and into the bedrooms of everyday people from all walks of life, who just want to get better sleep.
We treat snoring and sleep apnoea seriously.
Snoring can break up relationships and even affect our health and wellbeing. Snoring decreases sleep quality for snorers and bed-partners alike. Poor sleep quality contributes to many common health and lifestyle problems such as:
- Daytime sleepiness or difficulty concentrating
- Increased bladder pressure during the night
- Morning headache
- Reduced sexual function
- Weight gain
- Reflux or heartburn
Problem snoring can also develop into sleep apnoea or choking during sleep which increases the likelihood of other health problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Read more.
