A 2014 study by the Public Health Agency of Canada estimated 5.4 million Canadian adults have been diagnosed with, or are at high risk of experiencing, obstructive sleep apnea.
Nearly 40% of Patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea today are FEMALE.
Women are 3 times more likely to have post-menopausal OSA than pre- menopausal. Changes to body fat distribution and hormones that occur after menopause are the contributing factors.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is linked with depression. People with depression were found to be 5 times more likely to suffer from sleep-disordered breathing- OSA being the most common (In a study of 18,980 people in Europe conducted by Stanford researcher Maurice Ohayon, MD PhD. )
Research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that sleeping less than six hours triggers the area of your brain that increases your need for food while also depressing the feeling that you’ve had enough to eat. This contributes to weight gain and hinders weight loss.
There is a correlation between the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Sexual Dysfunction, in both men and women.
Cross-sectional studies have been consistent in demonstrating that moderate-severe OSA (apnea-hyponea index (AHI) >15 events/hour) is significantly associated with risk of having arterial hypertension.

Think you may have Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
This is how we help you achieve better sleep
Step 1
Take-Home Sleep Test
This easy to use testing device is worn in the comfort of your own bed. We only need one night’s sleep to determine if you’re having difficulty breathing at night. It measures oxygen levels, heart rate and whether your breathing pattern is normal.
Step 2
Review Test Results
Your test will be interpreted by a credentialed sleep physician, who may also provide treatment suggestions to your referring doctor. Once the test results are interpreted by the physician, you can review this with your referring physician.
Step 3
Free CPAP Trial
If your doctor recommends CPAP therapy you will be set up with the appropriate machine and mask that is best suited to you. You may try different masks or even different machines in order to ensure you are getting a full night’s sleep. We allow up to two months for you to adapt to therapy before you purchase.
Step 4
Ongoing Support
Support is given as you initially get used to therapy, but it doesn’t stop there. Even after you are sleeping peacefully and own your equipment, Mainland Sleep will continue to see you every six months. We want to make sure you have long term success and that your equipment needs are maintained and that therapy is optimized.

I really cannot say enough good things about this company.
I am in healthcare, I have dealt with this company for years. I highly recommend Rav, as he is both extremely knowledgable and compassionate. His wife and Rav are extremely competent. I really cannot say enough good things about this company. I use CPAP, and my life has turned around with a level of energy that I have not had since I was a young adult.

Respiratory Therapist Surrey - CentralThis was really beyond excellent service
My fiance and I walked in, no appointment on a Saturday, hoping that they would have a replacement part for his CPAP. Not only did they have the part, but the staff there were wonderful. The lovely front staff, while juggling patients, phone calls and insurance paperwork, took the time to show us some of the newer masks ( the old resmed one was very incompatible with a mustache ). We left the office with a mask that is comfortable...actually comfortable, quiet and well priced. We will only be going to this office of Mainland in future. This was really beyond excellent service - I'm not even being paid for this...they are just that great.

Thanks for saving my trip!
I was visiting Richmond for the weekend. When I went to set up my CPAP machine in the hotel room Friday night I realized the power cord had been left at home. I was very happy to find Mainland Sleep on No.6 Road and that they were open on a Saturday. Rav and his staff were so friendly and helpful and he quickly brought out a cord for me. Thanks for saving my trip!

I had a very good experience with the staff especially Savi and Sara. The office in Surrey was extremely professional and I had a great overall experience. I was referred to them by my doctor. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody that needs help with their sleep apnea treatment. They just generally seemed to be caring and good people
