Sleep has become an important thing in today's fast-paced life, but do you know that women need more sleep than men? Let's know the reason behind this from Dr. Vipul Gupta (Director - Neuro Intervention, Paras Hospital Gurugram).
1. Hormonal changes:
Dr. Vipul Gupta said that hormonal changes keep happening in women's body, which affects sleep. Hormonal changes occur in women during periods, pregnancy and menopause. Due to these changes, sleep related problems like insomnia or waking up frequently at night can occur.
2. Mental stress:
Women feel mental stress and emotional challenges more deeply than men. Work, family, responsibility of children and social pressure all affect the mental health of women. Due to this mental pressure, they feel mentally exhausted and need more sleep.
3. Physical causes:
Women's body is different from men's. There is a difference in women's bone structure, metabolism and muscle strength. Due to these physical differences, their energy needs are also different from men.
4. Quality of sleep:
Women also experience a difference in the quality of sleep as compared to men. Many times women have a lot of disturbance in their sleep. They may have problems like waking up early, insomnia or feeling interrupted in sleep. Due to all these reasons, they need more sleep.
5. Health problems:
Health problems like thyroid problems, anemia and depression are also more common in women. All these problems affect sleep patterns and increase women's need for sleep.
Women need more sleep than men because hormonal changes, mental stress, physical differences and health problems have a greater effect on their lives. It is important that women get adequate sleep according to their health so that they can remain mentally and physically healthy and fit. A balanced lifestyle, regular exercise, proper diet and stress management can improve the quality of sleep.
