According to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation (NFS), mothers who are home all day suffer the most, and the lack of sleep is making women stressed and anxious and is affecting all areas of their lives.
The poll found that 70 percent of women frequently have a problem sleeping, and 60 percent only get a good night’s sleep a few nights a week.
Poor sleep is associated with poor mood and the majority of women reported being bothered by worrying too much about things.
Kathryn Lee, of the National Sleep Foundation says women’s lack of sleep affects virtually every aspect of their time-pressed lives, leaving them late for work, stressed out, too tired for sex and with little time for their friends.
When women run out of time, 39 percent also reduced the time they spent with friends and family, 37 percent stopped eating healthily and 33 percent stopped having sex with their partner.
Lee says it is interesting that work is the last thing that women say they sacrifice when pressed for time.
