Did you know that women are twice as likely as men are to have sleep disorders? Women have frequent sleep problems during their reproductive years.
There are many factors that can influence a woman’s ability to have normal sleep patterns including hormone levels, the stress in their lives, their lifestyle, the environment in which they sleep and menstrual and pregnancy related issues. It is quite common for women to experience premenstrual sleep disturbances.
They have difficulty falling asleep, may awake during the night, or have difficulty waking up. They may experience daytime sleepiness. They can also suffer from insomnia, which is sleeplessness, and is one of the more common symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Many women get into unhealthy sleep patterns due to the constant demanding roles they face as mothers, wives and career women. They choose to ignore fatigue, work long hours, which cut into their sleep time and have their sleep interrupted by their responsibilities as mom.
Older women older than 40 years of age report more sleep disturbances than women in there 20s or 30s. Lack of sleep in these women can contribute to decreased job performance, decreased ability to concentrate, decline in social interaction and a lack of general well being.
Pregnancy is a major reason for sleep disturbance. The sheer demands on the body can make a woman feel sleepy during the day especially in the first trimester. The pregnant woman may receive better sleep in the second trimester but than in the third trimester because of the size of her abdomen and the aches and pains of pregnancy she again may go back into a unhealthy pattern of poor quality sleep.
Some reasons for lack of sleep during pregnancy are frequent urination, heartburn, discomfort from bodily changes, fetal movement, low back pain, leg cramps, vivid nightmares, and sleep apnea and snoring that can occur during pregnancy.
As women age other sleep disturbances plaque them due to menopause such as having hot flashes and night sweats that wake them up or make it difficult to fall asleep.
The most frequent complaint concerning sleep that women report is insomnia. Women have many reasons for having insomnia (sleeplessness) including feeling too much pain to sleep, anxiety, medical conditions that disrupt their sleep, breathing disorders, and the worries of the day from having to wear too many hats at work, home and community responsibilities.
Sleep apnea increases in women who are over age 50. As women age they are more likely to have restless legs syndrome, or periodic limb movement disorder or even narcolepsy.
