Women and Their Sleep Habits
Generally speaking, women have more complicated sleep patterns than men. Whereas most guys tumble off into dreamland in short order women tend approach their overnight rest periods still processing the events and concerns of the day. Glamour magazine did a study of female sleep habits with some interesting results. See if your lights out behaviors are common.
- 56 percent of women have talked in their sleep.
- 11 percent have sleepwalked.
- 22 percent of women use things like prescription or over-the-counter meds or alcohol a few times a week to fall asleep faster.
- 30 percent of women wake up in the middle of the night
- 39 percent hit the snooze button two or three times each morning. 16 percent say they do it four times or more!
