This is not true, as people have different sleep requirements and should adjust their sleep schedules accordingly; essentially, no single &#8220;perfect&#8221; sleep duration works for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"Factors-that-may-influence-women's-sleep-needs\">Factors that may influence women&#8217;s sleep needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Women generally have more issues affecting their sleep, like hormonal changes and caregiving roles. So, they need to compensate for disrupted or poor-quality sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Hormonal fluctuations<\/h3>\n<p>Your circadian rhythm, or internal 24-hour cycle, can affect your hormones. But it also works the other way. Fluctuating hormones can aggravate your risk of sleep disturbance and adversely impact your sleep cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Women experience monthly hormonal changes like periods and significant life stages like pregnancy, breastfeeding, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2025\/02\/19\/menopause-management\/\"><strong>perimenopause and menopause<\/strong><\/a>, which can disrupt quality sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Menopause can affect sleep in several ways. You are more likely to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take longer to fall asleep than before menopause<\/li>\n<li>Spend less time in deep sleep than when you were younger<\/li>\n<li>Develop sleep disorders and chronic health issues, like thyroid disease affecting your sleep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Caregiver roles<\/h3>\n<p>Gender-based responsibilities, like caregiving, can impact sleep duration. Gender roles often place more caregiving burdens on women. This can lead to interrupted sleep when attending to children&#8217;s or family needs, which proves that women wake up more likely to care for others at home.<\/p>\n<h3>Physical health<\/h3>\n<p>Chronic conditions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2021\/10\/14\/how-to-identify-and-avoid-sleep-disorders-by-dr-dinesh-bagmane\/\"><strong>sleep disorders<\/strong><\/a>, including insomnia and restless leg syndrome (RLS), can affect women\u2019s sleep needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Mental health<\/h3>\n<p>Women may experience stress, anxiety, and mood disorders that can contribute to and exacerbate symptoms of insomnia.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"Research-findings:-How-much-sleep-do-women-need?\">Research findings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-74948 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/young-woman-resting-bed-morning-2.jpg\" alt=\"young-woman-resting-bed-morning 2_Activ Living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/young-woman-resting-bed-morning-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/young-woman-resting-bed-morning-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/young-woman-resting-bed-morning-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r05\/___https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/women-sleep\/do-women-need-more-sleep-than-men%23references-79191___.YXBzMTphZGl0eWFiaXJsYWNhcGl0YWw6YzpvOjA1MjA4NzU2YmIxMWZhM2M3YzdhODE2YWFmNjIwMTg3Ojc6Yjk3MDpiNWY3MTUzYjBhMzE5NjI2Y2Y4OGFiN2VhMjQwMDRhNzliZGZhZDIxZjQyZGYzMDZhZjgyMjAwMTQxNTY3YmExOnA6VDpO\"><b>Research shows<\/b><\/a> that women usually require more sleep by just 11 minutes.
