Recent findings from Gallup Polls highlight a concerning trend in sleep patterns, with women consistently reporting lower rates of adequate rest compared to men. The latest poll reveals that only 36% of women feel they get enough sleep, in contrast to 48% of men, marking significant declines from previous years.
While traditionally, adults aged 65 and older are more likely to report sufficient sleep, the decline in sleep satisfaction affects all age groups, although less noticeable among young adults aged 18 to 29.
Of particular concern is the stark gender gap among younger demographics, with only 27% of young women reporting adequate sleep compared to 46% of young men. This widening gap over the years underscores a growing issue in sleep health, demanding attention and intervention to ensure better rest for all demographics.
