Poor sleep is rarely 'just stress'. It's usually a mix of cortisol dysregulation, hormonal shifts, nutrient depletion, screen and caffeine habits, and sometimes an untreated medical driver. We investigate all of them.
Why it happens
Understanding the causes
Elevated evening cortisol and an over-active nervous system
Low magnesium, vitamin D or B-vitamin status
Hormonal shifts (perimenopause, thyroid, testosterone)
Sleep apnoea, restless legs and untreated medical conditions

Frequently asked
Good to know
Do you prescribe sleeping tablets?+
Only short-term and only when clinically indicated. Sustainable sleep comes from fixing the driver, not sedating the symptom.
Could my sleep problem be hormonal?+
Very often, yes — especially in women 35+ and men with low testosterone. We test properly before we treat.
