A recent study published in the National Library of Medicine highlights the differences between men and women’s sleep patterns. The research shows that women tend to have a better sleep quality than men, with longer sleep times, shorter sleep-onset latency, and higher sleep efficiency. Dr. Vipul Gupta, chief of neurointerventional surgery and co-chief of the Stroke Unit at Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, confirms these findings.
According to Dr. Gupta, women are more likely to have slightly deeper sleep and tend to sleep for longer periods of time than men. Additionally, women tend to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier than men.
It is important to note that while gender may play a role in shaping sleep patterns, there are also other factors that can impact sleep quality, such as stress, diet, and physical activity levels. To ensure a good night’s sleep, it is recommended to maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine and electronic devices before bedtime, and create a comfortable sleep environment.
The study’s results emphasize the need for individuals to be aware of the factors that can affect their sleep quality and to take the necessary steps to ensure they are getting the right amount and quality of sleep. By doing so, they can improve their overall health and well-being.
