Snoring is a primary sign you have sleep apnoea, a serious medical condition. You’re not breathing optimally while you sleep, depriving your body (including the brain and heart) of much-needed oxygen.
Sleep apnoea is very common, with up to 50% of men over 40 and 24% of women over 40 affected, yet 85% undiagnosed (Hypnolaus Study: Lancet Respir Med 2015). Yet most people don’t realize they are at risk. This condition often goes undiagnosed because many people are unaware of the symptoms that occur during sleep.
People with severe sleep apnoea have a three times higher risk of dying due to any cause compared with people who do not have sleep apnoea, according to a study published in the journal Sleep.
An estimated 42% of deaths in people with sleep apnoea are caused by heart disease or stroke, and the risk of death increases even more when sleep apnoea is left untreated. Seeking a proper diagnosis and effective treatment for sleep apnoea today may greatly reduce your risk of death.

A sleep apnoea test – conducted in your own home, your own bed – can tell doctors if your symptoms indicate sleep apnoea, and if you could benefit from sleep apnoea treatment.

CPAP Treatment

CPAP is not the prettiest option, but it works if used correctly. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, a specific type of breathing therapy consisting of a small machine that delivers a stream of warm room air via a plastic tube to a nasal pillow, nose mask or full-face mask. The continuous airflow keeps the airway (your throat) open so that “normal breathing” becomes possible, reducing and/or preventing sleep apnoea and snoring.

Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance

Most people call it a mouthguard, but it’s a whole lot different than those worn by athletes to protect their teeth, or the ones used for bruxism (teeth grinding). BlueSleep provides different types of custom-fabricated Mandibular Advancement Devices that keep your lower jaw slightly forward, and your airway (deep part of the throat) open, while you sleep. This prevents most snoring and sleep apnoea, allowing you (and your bed partner) to have a good night’s rest, avoid health problems and have more stamina when you’re awake.

What our patients say

One of our patients from Tech Insider created a 5-min video with over 2 million views to share his experience about sleep apnea. His snoring affected his relationship (every night on the couch) and his overall quality of life. This video explains the connection between snoring and sleep apnea, the serious risk (including heart disease and car accidents) and why it’s critical to get treatment. Today, he is sleeping better – and so is the person sleeping next to him.

Customer reviews

The care providers at BlueSleep have been very professional, responsive and helpful throughout all my experiences with them. They actually care, and they go the extra mile to be helpful and find answers. Their system has also been easy to use and understand. I highly recommend BlueSleep experts to anyone seeking better, more restful sleep!

Michael R.

I needed to replace a sleep appliance that I've been using for the past 13 years, and I'm very particular about the appliance (I've also tried some bad ones). The folks at BlueSleep were both knowledgeable and informative. The P.A. with whom I did my intake interview was also informative, professional, and communicated extremely well. I feel I'm in very good hands.

Kevin R.

I was diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea and BlueSleep has been helping me get it all sorted out so I can sleep better. It has been a journey (that’s not over yet) but I’m so glad to have a provider by my side to help me out. They are professional and so knowledgeable about what kind of care I need. Next steps are to get fitted for the actual medical device but I’m really excited to finally have this life-long issue taken care of!

Kim C.

I’ve been suffering with sleep apnea for a while now and was relieved to find BlueSleep! I was able to replace my CPAP machine with an oral appliance and the process could not have been easier!I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience! The prices are affordable. The service is convenient. And the treatment process WORKS!

Katie L.

The advances in at home sleep tests, diagnosis and at home dental imprints makes taking care of sleep apnea almost a no-brainer. Easy, mostly affordable, efficient and totally no evasive brings this serious medical problem to the 21st century and can truly make a huge difference to a huge slice of the population who didn’t want to go through the hassle of care. Bluesleep strikes through all the misconceptions and offers a true solution. I highly recommend it.
