Are women getting enough sleep?

Posted by Admin under Sleep Deprivation

tired womanI am certain that this article http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/wellbeing/are-women-getting-enough-sleep-20100907-14yj3.html will appeal to some of the ladies out there as it did to me. The article takes a light-hearted view of a very serious issue, that is, women not getting enough sleep. The writer looks at both sides; on one side she accuses women of being “whingers” and making it the “next feminist issue” and on the other discusses the reasons why women are getting less sleep and the scientific research that states women are experiencing more sleep problems than men.

During pregnancy I had terrible problems with memory, particularly with numbers. I remember going to the bank with two cheques and had to ask the teller to add them for me! I believe this is commonly referred to as “placenta brain”.

 

Well there was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday stating that Australian researchers have discovered that the “reason for the decline in auditory memory is suspected to be poor quality sleep”! I wish I had have known that during pregnancy!!!!

 

Read the article at http://www.smh.com.au/national/thanks-for-the-memory-loss-baby-20090328-9es3.html and let me know your “placenta brain” stories.
