It’s no secret that most people don’t get the recommended amount of sleep each night, but it turns out women are having more trouble getting shut eye than the rest of us.
A survey by the Better Sleep Council finds that women represent 57% of poor sleepers in America, with 80% of female students and 71% of mothers with children under 18 saying they don’t get a good night’s sleep.
As for other statistics about bad sleepers, the survey finds:
- 72% are concerned about their financial futures
- 56% are living paycheck to paycheck
- 44% feel under pressure at work
- 22% have income under $25,000
- 16% have a difficult relationship with a spouse or partner
And it seems relationships can also have a big effect on sleep. Those who have great relationships make up 88% of great sleepers, while only 9% of those in difficult relationships say the same.
