Sleep Assessment During Menopause in Central London
Sleep disturbance is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, often presenting as insomnia, frequent night waking, early morning waking, or non-restorative sleep.
At LSDC Healthcare, our Menopause-Related Sleep Disorder Evaluation provides a consultant-led, medically structured assessment to identify hormonal, neurological, metabolic, and psychological contributors to poor sleep.
Care is delivered in a quiet, discreet clinical setting in the City of London, with senior clinical interpretation and clear treatment pathways.
What Is Menopause-Related Sleep Disorder?
Menopause-related sleep disorders arise from the interaction of:
Oestrogen and progesterone decline
Vasomotor symptoms (night sweats, hot flushes)
Circadian rhythm disruption
Anxiety, mood change, and cognitive hyperarousal
Increased risk of sleep apnoea and restless sleep syndromes
Sleep disturbance is not benign and has downstream effects on cardiovascular health, mood, cognition, and metabolic regulation.

Medication is not first-line. Treatment focuses on addressing underlying causes.
Can HRT improve sleep?
In many women, appropriately prescribed HRT significantly improves sleep quality.
Do you assess for sleep apnoea?
