What you do on the weekend could be ruining your sleep, experts reveal

Everyday Australians living with a newly-identified sleep health concern could have no idea they're suffering from it. Research from Flinders University has revealed that the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a common condition caused by repeated airway collapse during sleep, increases significantly on weekends. This phenomenon may be linked to late nights, sleeping in, alcohol and smoking on weekends, leading FHMRI Sleep Health experts to dub it 'social apnea'.

How does our environment impact our health? Unravelling the exposome

  With around 125,000 children and parents enrolled, Generation Victoria — or GenV — is set to become one of the largest health studies of its kind in the world.

Emergency Dentist vs Regular Dentist: What’s the Difference?

 An emergency dentist and a regular dentist both care for your oral health, but their roles are a little different. A regular dentist handles routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, and long term care to keep your teeth and gums healthy. They usually work by appointment during normal clinic hours. An emergency dentist, on the other hand, is available when you have sudden issues like severe tooth pain, broken teeth, bleeding, or infections that cannot wait. They provide fast relief and treatment outside regular hours, including nights and weekends. In short, a regular dentist maintains your smile, while an emergency dentist is there when urgent problems strike.
