Why women have a harder time falling asleep than men

Why women have a harder time falling asleep than men

Do you usually toss and turn when your partner is already fast asleep next to you? It doesn't just seem that way, it really is:men fall asleep faster than women.

Hormones
There is an important cause for this:hormone fluctuations. Because of your menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause. Hormone fluctuations disrupt our natural balance, making it harder for us to fall asleep.

Some tips to fall asleep faster

  • Keep your feet cool. Find out why you sleep faster with one foot outside the duvet. But don't lie with ice cubes for feet, because then you probably won't fall asleep.
  • Exercise enough, but don't do intensive sports from two hours before bedtime.
