About Steve Archer, RRT, CCSH
I'm a Registered Respiratory Therapist with 35 years of experience, the last 15+ focused entirely on sleep. I live and work in North Vancouver, a community I'm proud to call home and where I've raised my family. After years running my own sleep clinic on the North Shore, I started Archer Sleep Care to bring that same personal, non-corporate approach back to the community I know best. I earned my Certification in Clinical Sleep Health (CCSH) to go alongside my respiratory therapy background, so I can offer care that's both experienced and genuinely tailored to each patient.
Signs You Might Have Sleep Apnea
Snoring isn't normal, it's actually the opposite of restful sleep. It means your airway is partially blocked, and it's often the first warning sign that something more serious is going on.
Other signs to watch for:
- Frequent trips to the bathroom at night
- Waking up tired, even after a full night's sleep
- High blood pressure or difficulty managing blood sugar
- A partner who says you stop breathing, gasp, or choke in your sleep
And a few common misconceptions worth clearing up: sleep apnea isn't just something that affects people who are overweight, plenty of people at a normal weight have it too. CPAP machines also aren't the loud, oversized masks people picture from TV. Most are small, quiet, and barely noticeable once you're set up properly.
If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth getting checked. A free 15-minute consultation is the easiest way to find out what's going on, and what to do about it.

Why Choose Archer Sleep Care
Most people who struggle with CPAP were never actually treated for CPAP failure, they were handed a machine and left to figure it out. Here, you get direct, one-on-one attention from a respiratory therapist with decades of experience: proper mask fitting, fine-tuned pressure settings, and follow-up that doesn't stop after the first appointment. It's the difference between being handed equipment and actually being cared for.
