Another reason a woman needs to sleep a little more is that, often, the quality of sleep they’re getting isn’t as good. Certain life stages and physiological changes make women more susceptible to less restful sleep. In fact, women are said to be more prone to insomnia and poor sleep in adulthood. In one poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, a whopping 63 percent of women said they experienced some form of insomnia every week.
