The benefits of gender equality extend far beyond the workplace – it could even help you get a better night’s sleep. According to a new study, people who live in countries that rank higher in gender equality tend to report more restful sleep than those where women have less economic and political power. In Ukraine and other countries that ranked lower on the equality scale, men and women aren’t getting as much sleep. ‘Men experience countless benefits from gender equality, reporting better physical health, greater happiness, and – as our study shows – better sleep,’ Ruppanner says. In countries with high gender equality, men aren’t carrying the burden alone‘This means, when it comes to sleep, dismantling traditional gender norms is something men would benefit from nearly as much as women.’
