New York, NY (May 1, 2003) – Skip the flowers and chocolates this Mother’s Day. What do moms really need? Sleep! Women face specific challenges, including work and family pressures, hormonal changes, a propensity for certain illnesses and, in the case of new moms, enhanced sensitivity to sound, which can all disrupt sleep and contribute to sleep loss.1 For women experiencing chronic sleep problems, health and quality-of-life risks can be significant, including possible increased risk of heart disease and obesity, decreased ability to handle job and household responsibilities, and relationship problems.2-6 According to a National Sleep Foundation survey, almost three out of four women between the ages of 30 and 60 do not get eight or more hours of sleep per night during the workweek.6 In fact, the average woman gets a little more than six and a half hours of sleep per night during the workweek.6 Working mothers are particularly prone to sleep disturbances. Almost three out of four American mothers working outside the home (74%) agree that “feeling tired all the time is a problem in their lives.”7 “Many women, particularly working moms, exist in a constant state of sleepiness,” said Suzanne Griffin, MD, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, and mother of two children. “Unfortunately, for many women, it’s more than just the physical demands on time that make it difficult to get a full night’s rest. Sleep loss in women is often the result of hormonal shifts or particular health conditions, such as arthritis and depression, that are more likely to affect women than men." Female Sleep Dilemmas There are several gender-specific conditions that contribute to widespread sleep loss among women.1 Specifically, sleep is affected by biological factors such as hormonal fluctuations.1 For example, a woman’s sleep is disturbed 2.5 days on average during the menstrual cycle.6 More women complain of sleep problems during menstruation (71%), when hormone levels are at their lowest, than during the premenstrual week (43%).6 A woman’s sleep is further disrupted after menopause.6 According to the 2003 “Sleep in America” Poll sponsored by the National Sleep Foundation, older women are more likely than older men to report that the quality of their sleep has declined over the past ten years.8 This deterioration may be caused by hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause, as well as medical problems associated with aging.1 Studies show that women are also more prone to certain diseases often associated with sleep disturbances. For example, more women (58%) than men (48%) suffer from nighttime pain9 — including pain due to arthritis and headaches1 — which may make it more difficult to get a good night’s sleep.9 Also, depression and anxiety disorders are twice as common in women as they are in men.1 According to the American Medical Women’s Association, women may be more vulnerable to stress-induced illnesses than men.10 For moms, changes in maternal “wiring” can also have a detrimental impact on sleep amount and quality. Most women with children develop a high sensitivity to the sounds of their children, which causes them to wake easily.11 Unfortunately, it is possible that many women never lose this sensitivity and continue to wake easily even after their children have grown, since women who have had children sleep less efficiently than those who have not had children.11
