Women in the U.S. too tired for sex
It seems American women have a problem with sleep and are not getting enough of it.
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 2007 Sleep in America poll investigated how sleep habits change throughout a woman's life and how sleep is affected by lifestyle.
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.
Seventy two percent of working mothers and 68 percent of single working women also suffer from insomnia and are struggling to cope with a lack of sleep.
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.
The survey questioned 1,003 women between the ages of 18-64 and found that women tend to compromise the most important aspects of good health, diet, exercise and sleep when they are trying to juggle the day's ongoing responsibilities.
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.
More reasons I don't get any. (http://www.news-medical.net/?id=22438)
