From depression and daytime sleepiness to difficulty concentrating, new Australian research suggests that women are more sensitive than men to the effects of sleep disorders in their daily lives. Researchers at the SleepGP clinic in Coolangatta, Australia, set out to investigate how men and women may be affected differently by sleep disorders in their day-to-day lives. The scientists found that women were more likely to have sleep disorders associated with daytime sleepiness (49% compared to 36.9 % for men). In addition, male snoring was more likely than female snoring to force bed partners to sleep in different rooms. The study results are published in the May 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
