Women Sleep Worse than Men, But Why?

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
