Summary:
Studies show women are up to 50 percent more likely to suffer from insomnia than male counterparts.
Following changes in day and night habits may improve a woman's sleep according to the Mayo Clinic:
1) Limit caffeine intake which includes coffee, tea and sodas, caffeine, chocolate and medications used to treat headaches, colds and sinus congestion.
2)Avoid nicotine as found in cigarettes and some stop smoking remedies as it impairs the ability to fall and stay asleep.
3) Avoid drinking alcoholic drinks before bedtime as one or two drinks consumed within just a few hours of going to bed can disrupt sleep and lead to increase chances of awakening at night.
4) Become more active as lack of daytime physical activity is associated with increased sleep problems, but be sure not to exercise just before bedtime since that can make it more difficult to fall asleep.
5) Eating just before bedtime can make it more difficult to fall and stay asleep as well.
6) Daytime naps can make it harder to fall asleep at bedtime so if you do need a daytime nap try to keep it under 30 minutes.
Conclusion:: If these self-treatment strategies don't help talk to your doctor as these problems may be related to any number of medical conditions.
