"The Sleep Gap: How Gender Influences Exhaustion and Circadian Rhythms"
The "rest gap" describes how societal pressures and expectations lead women to get less sleep than men, impacting their well-being. Women face hormone-related sleep disruptions and societal conditioning to prioritize others over themselves. The productivity-obsessed culture and workplace pressures also contribute to this gap. Experts suggest setting boundaries, prioritizing rest as a basic need, and finding moments for self-care throughout the day to address the rest gap and improve sleep quality.
