Dr Peter Solin is the medical director of the Sleep & Respiratory Group and a highly trained authority in sleep and respiratory medicine. Covering all facets of sleep medicine, he has a particular interest in the effects of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases on sleep and performance, the impact of ill health and infirmity on sleep, how medications interfere with sleep and rest, as well as unusual causes of fatigue and sleepiness, particularly in young adults.

The sleep laboratory at SJOG Berwick is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art equipment to facilitate the diagnosis of sleep disorders, as well as initiation of CPAP therapy and review of treatment. Utilising Bluetooth technology, the Nox system is portable, non-invasive and provides patients with full movement to get out of bed as required during the night. A large private room with private ensuite in a quiet section of the hospital ensures a comfortable stay for sleep study patients.

Direct referral to the sleep laboratory, without prior consultation with a sleep physician, is possible where a patient meets Medicare eligibility criteria indicating a high probability of sleep apnoea. The sleep study referral form with eligibility questionnaires is available at https://www.sleepgroup.com.au/referral-templates. Referrals are welcomed for the management of all types of sleep disorders including snoring, sleep apnoea, insomnia, narcolepsy, fitness to drive, fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness.
