American women, particularly those under 50, report sleeping less than they need and higher stress levels than men, according to a recent poll by Gallup.
Women in the United States have been consistently less likely than men to report getting enough sleep. The latest poll, conducted in December, finds 36 percent of women versus 48 percent of men saying they get the sleep they need. Both figures represent significant declines from previous readings in 2013 and 2004 and are the lowest Gallup has measured for each group to date.
