Rate My Professor John Wheatley

Professor Wheatley's research specializations include positional OSA, CPAP treatment efficacy, craniofacial factors in sleep apnoea, heart rate variability in OSA patients, and sleep architecture in comorbid conditions like depression and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Key publications include 'CPAP treatment in REM-related obstructive sleep apnea' (2021), 'Equivalence of Nasal and Oronasal Masks during Initial CPAP Titration' (2011), 'Craniofacial photography for detection of positional obstructive sleep apnoea' (2025), 'Patterns of physical activity in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and their association with disease severity' (2025), 'Heart rate variability analysis in obstructive sleep apnea patients using automated HRV analysis during REM and NREM sleep' (2024), and 'Symptom Burden of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease' (2023). He collaborates on the Precision Sleep Medicine (PRISM) program and serves on the Executive Committee of the Sydney Sleep Biobank at the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre. In 2009, he received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Australasian Sleep Association for exceptional contributions to sleep health and science. Professor Wheatley contributes to the Editorial Advisory Board of Respiratory Medicine Today and has informed guidelines such as the 2024 Australasian Sleep Association guidelines for sleep studies in adults. His work has influenced clinical practice, research collaborations, and education in sleep and respiratory medicine across Australia.
