Causes Women Often Insomnia Than Men

Edulivee.Com – Research conducted by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) states that about two thirds of women experience poor sleep several days a week. As a result, they often wake up unrefreshed the next morning.

Furthermore, research conducted by Cambridge University also states that around 39% of women experience insomnia or difficulty sleeping. So, what is it that causes women to have trouble sleeping compared to men?

1. Pregnancy and children
During pregnancy, women's bodies often experience disturbances such as pain in the abdomen to the legs and waist. Furthermore, after giving birth, babies who are still small make women so bothered and eventually feel tired. These two things make it difficult for women to sleep every night and in the morning experience extreme drowsiness.

2. Hormonal changes
During menstruation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body will fluctuate. This causes women often have trouble sleeping at night. In addition, irregular estrogen levels affect neurotransmitter pathways so that the circadian or human biological clock does not run smoothly.

3. Stress and depression
Women are more likely to experience stress and depression than men. This causes the mind to be confused and unable to relax during sleep. To overcome this situation, women are advised to relax such as meditation, yoga, or traveling.

4. Menopause
When going into menopause, hormones in a woman's body will experience changes. As a result, they will often experience body disorders such as frequent night sweats and restlessness. Women who enter menopause are also often restless so that during sleep they often feel discomfort for several days a week.

If you experience sleep disturbances that are severe enough, try changing your lifestyle to be healthier. Furthermore, try to visit a doctor to get the right help.
