Age Women Sleep Best
Age and Sleep in Women
Oct. 27, 2005 -- Sleep researchers in Belgium may have discovered a perk of aging for women. Older women handled a brief but drastic drop in sleep better than younger women, the scientists report. The study appears in the journal Sleep. The researchers included Patricia Stenuit, MSc, of the University of Brussels' sleep laboratory.

A quote from the article:

| The older women had all finished menopause. That's important, because many women report problems with sleep while they're undergoing menopauseproblems with sleep while they're undergoing menopause. |
I wonder if this might be as a result of having learned to adjust to problems with sleep while going through menopause. I know this is a real problem that lasts for a good while. Many women end up needing sleeping aids during this time. For some, it is the reason they begin to use hormones, more so than the hot flashes.
When one struggles with a problem long enough, they will usually adapt/learn to cope. Perhaps that is why the older women did better than the others in the test.
