"Often, people see the need to sleep as an inconvenience. They think to get the most out of life, they need to deprive themselves of sleep to get ahead or to be more social, but it's really the other way around."
Sharon Cobb, Associate Professor at Charlies R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, CNN
Are you getting the quality sleep you deserve?
Sleep is complicated. Although many people think it’s as simple as closing your eyes, making sure there’s no noise and falling asleep, it can be a lot more complicated than that.
Getting the right amount of sleep for your age, making sure you’ve developed a pre-sleep routine and making sure your sleep environment is ideal for rest are all things that many people need to do, but aren’t.
With one in two Australian adults saying that they experience at least two sleep-related problems1, getting high quality sleep is more important than ever.
If you find that you’re not getting the sleep you need, it can lead to chronic health conditions, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and poor mental health2.
All of these chronic health conditions can have significant impacts on your mind, body and your quality of life.
At Blooms The Chemist, your local community Pharmacist can work with you to help you get the highest quality sleep you can as sleep is a key component of your overall health and wellbeing.
Some people may also suffer from sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea occurs when your throat muscles relax too much during sleep and become really narrow. Sometimes air can get through, but it vibrates against tissues in the back of your throat, which causes snoring3.
In more severe cases of sleep apnoea, little to no air can get into the lungs, and this causes you to stop breathing for a short time between 10 seconds and up to one minute.
We offer an online sleep quiz to determine your risk of having a sleep disorder and at-home sleep apnoea testing that can determine whether or not you need CPAP treatment for your sleep apnoea.
