Sleep: Women vs. Men

By Poison_Ivy - Posted on March 20th, 2008

I was reading an article posted under the "Topics of the Week" and was shocked to learn that women with difficulty sleeping developed more health problems in their future than men with similar sleep patters. The difference lie mainly in heart problems and the production of insulin, leading to type II diabetes. As an insomniac myself, I was forced to do a little more research on the subject.
