Women are more likely than men to suffer from
insomnia and other sleep health issues.
Women have unique health-related experiences that affect the quantity and quality of their sleep, including changing hormones during the monthly menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. Perimenopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, often disturb sleep. Many women also report problems sleeping after menopause. Women often have increased caregiving responsibilities, plus family and social roles, compared to men. In addition, many women work to help support their families. The combination of family responsibilities, career duties, and biological factors results in women being more likely to have sleep problems than men. Insomnia is more common in people with depression and anxiety, which also affects more women than men. Women are also more likely to experience restless leg syndrome. We work with women all over the world to help them get the sleep they need to maximize their health, mental wellness and performance.
