Mark Holmes

Director

Mark co-founded Circadian Australia, leads our team and draws on a successful career in international leadership to ensure that we optimise outcomes for our clients and their people. He also draws on his own recent health experiences in managing his Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, which drives his passion for helping others suffering from sleep disruption and the related health outcomes. Mark is now the first to admit that like many people he was in denial about his OSA and the toll his disrupted sleep took on his health, effectiveness and alertness.

Mark monitors his sleep quality and sleep efficiency every morning with the Fatigue Science Readiband, continually making lifestyle changes to improve his health, alertness and wellbeing. Mark uses an Oventus 02Vent https://o2vent.com every night to regulate his breathing and control his obstructive sleep apnoea and he regularly achieves 7+ hours of good sleep resulting in average wake time alertness of 90% to 95%.
