Ask The Doctor: Insomnia, Menopause & Sleep with Professor Guy Leschziner

Ask The Doctor: Insomnia, Menopause & Sleep with Professor Guy Leschziner This episode is sponsored by Welbeck – providing beyond better healthcare. Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new Ask The Doctor series. In this special bonus episode, we put your midlife health questions directly to a medical expert and this time, we're talking about insomnia, menopause and sleep. Sleep problems are incredibly common during the perimenopause and menopause, with around 40–60% of women experiencing sleep disruption during the menopausal transition. But why does sleep become so difficult in midlife? What causes us to struggle to fall asleep? And what can we actually do to improve our sleep? We put your questions to Professor Guy Leschziner, one of the UK's leading neurologists and sleep experts. Guy is a Consultant Neurologist at Welbeck and Guy’s Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital, where he runs specialist sleep and epilepsy clinics as well as general neurology clinics.
