Recognise the signs
Could Your Snoring Be Sleep Apnoea?
Many people don't realise that snoring, poor sleep and daytime tiredness can be signs of a serious, treatable condition. Sleep apnoea affects an estimated 1 in 5 New Zealand adults — and most don't know they have it.
Loud snoring
Snoring that disturbs your partner or wakes you up
Excessive daytime tiredness
Falling asleep during the day despite a full night in bed
Morning headaches
Waking with a headache that eases during the day
Poor concentration
Difficulty focusing, memory problems or brain fog
Waking gasping or choking
Suddenly waking short of breath in the night
Witnessed breathing pauses
A partner has noticed you stop breathing while asleep
Irritability or low energy
Mood changes, low motivation or unexplained fatigue
High blood pressure
Untreated sleep apnoea is a known contributor to hypertension
If you experience several of these symptoms, a sleep assessment may help determine whether sleep apnoea is affecting your health and quality of life.
The good news: sleep apnoea is very manageable once diagnosed.

Treatment
What is CPAP Therapy?
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It is the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. The machine delivers a gentle, steady stream of air through a comfortable mask while you sleep — keeping your airway open and preventing the breathing interruptions that cause poor sleep.
Most people notice a significant improvement in energy, mood, and concentration within days of starting CPAP therapy. We provide CPAP machines for sale and rental, along with full mask fitting and ongoing support.
