Women and sleeping

Polls carried out in the USA by the National Sleep Foundation found the following:

• Almost three out of four women get less than eight hours’ sleep a night.

• Sleep is disturbed for 2.5 days on average during the menstrual cycle.

• More women complain of sleep problems during menstruation (71 per cent) than during the week preceding menstruation (43 per cent).

• Sleep-disrupting conditions such as anxiety and depression are twice as likely to occur in women than in men.
