CDC analysis finds that women and single parents have more sleep problems

A new data brief from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that single parents get less sleep and experience more sleep-related problems than adults in other types of families. The analysis also found that women of all family types were more likely than men in the same family type to have more trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and to frequently wake feeling not well-rested.
