Why are women more tired than men?
Truth is, there is no definitive answer. Many studies are currently endeavoring to determine why more women report that they have issues sleeping (that is to say, it could be that women are more likely to report sleep deficiencies than men). However, most collected evidence points to the fact that more women suffer from sleep disorders such as insomnia and waking disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, than men.
What happens when you don't get the sleep you need?
Part of this must be biological right? Yes- a woman's biological clock is wired slightly differently in that her circadian rhythm is about 6 minutes shorter than that of a man's. Women tend to sleep worse during their period due to factors such as cramps and hormonal changes. But no matter what the reason, sleeplessness in females causes a host of problems including:
- Stress (which contributes to fatigue and sleeplessness itself)
- Diabetes and weight gain
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular disease
