The Better Sleep Council found that an increasing number of women feel a good night\u2019s sleep, like proper diet and exercise, is central to their overall health and well being. However, while they understand this critical link, the poll shows that women are failing to get the sleep they need. Previous research indicates that women are more sleep-deprived than men, have greater difficulty falling and staying asleep, and experience more daytime sleepiness. This survey found that some groups of women experience more sleep loss than others.<\/p>\n

Work, Marriage and Geography Affect How Women Sleep<\/span><\/h4>\n

Women are not getting enough sleep, but the amount of sleep they do get is tied to many factors in their lives.<\/p>\n

Women understand the importance of sleep<\/h4>\n

While women know how necessary sleep is to their health, most are just not getting enough.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • One-third of female respondents feel that a balanced lifestyle requires a proper diet, regular exercise and a good night\u2019s sleep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Divorce keeps women up at night<\/h4>\n

    Marital status plays a role in how well women are sleeping.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Women who are divorced or separated were 9% more likely than single women to get at most 5 hours of sleep each night<\/li>\n
    • Divorced and separated women were 6% more likely than married women to say they get, at most, 5 hours of sleep a night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Work outside the home means better sleep<\/h4>\n

      Work, and the type of work, plays a role in the amount of rest women get.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Women who do not work outside the home were 8% more likely than all\u00a0other women to get less sleep than they need<\/li>\n
      • Female business\u00a0professionals aren\u2019t tossing and turning \u2013 they\u2019re among the most likely to get a\u00a0good night\u2019s sleep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Where to live to sleep well<\/h4>\n

        Where a woman lives impacts how well she sleeps at night.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Women living in the populous Northeast and West Coast have more trouble sleeping than people in other regions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Minority women are losing sleep<\/h4>\n

          It’s clear that minority women have a greater sleep deficit than white women.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • 27% of Hispanic women report not getting enough sleep<\/li>\n
          • 22% of African-American women say they don’t get enough sleep<\/li>\n
          • 13% of white women report not sleeping enough<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
