Most healthy adults require a solid seven to nine hours of sleep a night. However, several factors will influence whether you need more or less… including your gender.

Moreover, women are more prone to certain sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, which vary even within the female population, depending on their age, life stage and family circumstance.
