What are the reasons why women can’t sleep?

Many women suffer from insomnia, often waking up at night or not being able to fall asleep at all. Poor sleep at night will lead to poor energy during the day, inability to work or study, and in serious cases it may even affect your normal life. What are the reasons why women can’t sleep? Some people suffer from insomnia due to aging and menopausal symptoms. Of course, some are due to physical reasons, so timely treatment is needed.

1. Physical discomfort

Women experience hormonal fluctuations and iron deficiencies from their first menstrual period, which can affect sleep. According to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 70% of women have trouble sleeping during menstruation, and also suffer from symptoms such as breast pain, dysmenorrhea and headaches. This physical discomfort will of course affect their sleep process. At the same time, during this special physiological period, women often feel depressed and anxious due to hormonal changes in the body. These internal emotional factors will also affect the quality of sleep.

2. In addition to physiological factors

Women's sleep quality is more easily affected by environmental factors. Women are born more sensitive. Many of them are only accustomed to sleeping in a fixed environment. Once they change rooms or beds, they cannot fall asleep. This is especially true for young white-collar women. Although they have a better ability to adapt to the sleeping environment, after the brain activity during the day, nervous fatigue will still cause a decrease in adaptability, affecting their sleep at night. Of course, this environmental factor also plays a role based on women's physiological characteristics.

3. Other causes

Although some individual women may have other causes of insomnia, overall their physiological characteristics determine that they are more susceptible to insomnia and are more susceptible to insomnia caused by environmental factors.
