Gender Sleep Gap: Lack of sleep among mothers as an equality problem. Men sleep slightly less overall over the course of their lives, women's sleep is interrupted more often.
Women with children under six years of age do a total of almost 50 (!) hours of unpaid care work per week. In quite a few families, especially when the children are younger, those who “work” or are employed naturally get the sleep at night. The reason: He - usually the man - simply needs sleep more urgently.
