Sleep disorders affect different people in different ways.
But what you probably didn't know is that they affect men in markedly different ways than they affect women.
Recent national surveys taken on the subject reveal that men and women sleep differently.
What they have discovered is that women are more at risk to certain sleep disorders than men.
Michael Twery, PhD, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research concluded that women can be as much as two to three times more susceptible to suffer from insomnia.
The chances of insomnia bouts can be even higher if a woman is pregnant.
Twery isn't exactly sure how this condition affects an unborn child, but this is a concern, nonetheless.
The child's cardiovascular health is the biggest concern that would arise as the result of an expectant mothers insomnia.
The interesting findings don't end there, though.
While women are at risk of insomnia, men, on the other hand, are more susceptible to obstructive sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder that requires treatment from a certified sleep specialist.
Sleep apnea is a serious health problem in which the patient stops breathing for extended periods of time during sleep.
The result is lack of oxygen to the brain and other essential organs.
These findings are interesting to say the least.
But what makes scientists truly curious is the quality of sleep among married couples.
According to the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center, women sleep less soundly when they share a bed with their husbands.
Men, on the other hand, sleep better when their wives are in the same bed with them.
As a result, it is estimated that nearly 23% of married couples sleep in separate rooms for this reason: they simply sleep better that way.
But what about you? If you're a woman who has trouble sleeping, but doesn't want to sleep in a different bed from your husband, what should you do? Or if you're a man whose wife is miserable because she can't get the rest she needs, is there anything you can do to help her? You don't have to sleep in separate beds to get a good night's sleep.
There are treatment options available.
Sleep disorders don't have to ruin your routine or your relationship.

And get some sleep tonight.
