Most of us think of sleep as a time for rest and recovery, but science is revealing just how vital it is for long-term brain health. In fact, the way you breathe—or don’t breathe—at night could influence your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Most of us know how sluggish and forgetful we can feel after a bad night’s sleep. But mounting research shows that poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired the next day – over the long term, it may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Getting a good night’s sleep shouldn’t come with financial stress. Yet for many Australians, the cost of diagnosis and treatment for sleep conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be a barrier to getting the help they need. That’s where Sove and Centurion Healthcare step in, offering bulk-billed services that put patients first.
Independent advice means guidance that is truly free from outside influence. An independent adviser cannot receive commissions or financial incentives for any recommendation they make. This ensures their advice is unbiased, impartial, and tailored only to your best interests—not tied to selling a product or serving another agenda. When it comes to something as important as your sleep health, this independence is critical.
When it comes to sleep and respiratory health, Australians deserve care that’s not only clinically excellent, but also transparent and independent. That’s where Centurion Healthcare and Sove CPAP Clinic come in—two trusted names working side by side, yet remaining independent in their missions. Their separation isn’t just about branding; it’s about integrity, choice, and ensuring patients have access to the very best care and products without compromise.
As we mark Women’s Health Week, it’s important to shine a light on a condition that is still too often overlooked in women: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a sleep disorder where the airway repeatedly narrows or collapses during sleep, causing breathing pauses, fragmented rest, and drops in oxygen levels.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability worldwide, affecting around 69 million people every year. In Australia alone, an estimated 190,000–200,000 cases occur annually, with roughly 20,000 of these considered moderate to severe.
Last week marked Brain Injury Awareness Week, a timely reminder of the hidden challenges faced by the thousands of Australians living with a brain injury. Beyond the obvious physical and cognitive difficulties, one of the most frustrating and often overlooked consequences is insomnia.
When we think of stroke recovery, we often focus on regaining movement, speech, and independence. But one important piece of the puzzle is often overlooked: sleep. In fact, up to two-thirds of stroke survivors also experience obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a condition where the upper airway repeatedly narrows or collapses during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing.
