The Side-Effects of Sleep Loss Affect Women Disproportionately
Healthy sleeping for women
If you have been struggling to fall or stay asleep consistently for a long period of time, it is time to seek the advice of a medical professional. The stakes (your health) are too great to not be getting the sleep you need. At Ahkami Medical Group, we focus on determining the underlying cause of your sleeplessness and setting a course to help you get back to your natural sleep cycle. But we urge every woman to exercise the factors that are within her control including:
- Sleep environment: keep lights off, limit noise and keep your bedroom temperature cool.
- Sleep hygiene: clean sheets regularly, engage in relaxing behaviors before bed including (not-too) hot showers.
- Monitor caffeine intake throughout the day: caffeine can work in the system for up to 8 hours after ingestion.
- Establish consistency with your sleep and waking patterns.
