Sleep differences have implications for how women and men could be treated for sleep-related disorders.
Women are more likely to suffer from insomnia and say they have lower sleep quality. Men are more likely to have sleep apnea.
The quality of women’s sleep in terms of the amount of deep sleep and the time they’re sleeping, as measured by brain activity, is good. But women complain far more than men about insomnia, the researchers found. They found that the women who felt they had been awake frequently during the night, even though they appeared to have been asleep, were experiencing a high-frequency almost wake-like brain activity in a small part of their brain, while the other 95 percent of their brain was resting. This activity is not detected in standard sleep studies where only a handful of electrodes are used.

During non-REM sleep, the brain becomes less responsive to the outside world and the body slows down. In the REM stage, dreaming occurs and certain bodily functions increase to daytime levels.
