Why do women often suffer from insomnia?

(L) Mental factors: Psychological factors such as anxiety, irritability, depression, and bad mood are important causes of insomnia. The blows of life, the pressure of work and study, unfulfilled wishes and changes in the social environment can cause people to have psychological and physiological reactions, leading to abnormal function of the nervous system and thus causing insomnia.

(2) Physical factors: Physical diseases that may cause insomnia include breast disease, menopausal syndrome, irregular menstruation, and some common diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.

(3) Environmental factors: Changes in the environment. Women’s physical and psychological qualities are more fragile. For example, the sleeping environment changes when riding in a car, ship, or airplane. Strong light, noise, excessive cold or excessive heat in the bedroom may cause insomnia. Some people are highly adaptable to the environment, while others are very sensitive and have poor adaptability, and cannot sleep well once the environment changes.
