Study finds that sleep disorders affect men and women differently

Results show that women are more likely than men to have more severe symptoms of depression, trouble sleeping at night, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Women also have a higher degree of difficulty concentrating and remembering things due to sleepiness or tiredness. In contrast, male snoring was more likely than female snoring to force bed partners to sleep in different rooms. The results are published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. €œWe found that females were more likely to have sleeping disorders associated with daytime sleepiness,€ said co-author Dr John Malouf, founder of SleepGP sleep clinic in Coolangatta, Queensland, Australia.
