Rebecca Robillard is a Sleep Medicine doctor based in Camperdown, NSW. You’ll find her practice at 94 Mallett St, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia.
Sleep issues can feel small at first, but they can slowly affect everything—your mood, your energy, and how well you cope day to day. Rebecca works with adults who are dealing with things like insomnia and ongoing trouble getting good sleep.
Many people also come in because of excessive daytime sleepiness. That tiredness can be more than “just a rough week”. It might be linked to sleep breathing problems, including obstructive sleep apnoea. In many cases, getting the right diagnosis makes a big difference, because it helps people feel more alert and can reduce the strain on the body.
Rebecca also looks after people where sleep and mental health are connected. This can include bipolar disorder (BPD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and major depression. Sleep problems can show up alongside stress and changes in mood, and at times they can make symptoms feel worse. She focuses on practical ways to help people manage those sleep patterns, without making things feel complicated.
There are also times sleep health can be affected after serious illness. Conditions such as COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) can leave people feeling foggy, breathless, or just “off” in their routine. Rebecca helps patients sort out how sleep is being impacted and what to do next.
Some visits are also about recovery and body changes after procedures. For example, adenoidectomy may come up where breathing and sleep quality have been a concern. The goal is the same—help people sleep as comfortably as possible and understand what’s going on.
When you see Rebecca, the aim is straightforward. You talk through your sleep problems and daily symptoms, and then you work out a plan that suits your situation. Sleep can be hard to fix on your own, so having someone who understands the links between sleep, breathing, and mental wellbeing can really help.
