Survey Results: Answers for Those Who Crave Good Sleep More Than Good Sex

Sleep is elusive for many of us at this age. How elusive? Our first sleep survey reveals a dramatic lack of sleep among women in the 45 plus age group.

What would you rather have: A night of out-of-this-world sex? Or a solid, uninterrupted eight hours of deep sleep?

We didn’t ask that question on our sleep survey, but I think we should have (next sleep survey!) Based on the responses we got to the questions we did ask, I’m betting that a majority of you would have longed for the latter. The sweet shut-eye.

Here’s why we believe that: a whopping 48 percent of you told us that you have sleep issues almost every night, and only 11 percent of you get a full eight hours or more. (The majority of you get six to seven hours, and a third report four to five hours max.) The problem for 42 percent of you is waking up several times a night, making for light, choppy sleep that leaves you irritable and punchy during daylight hours.
