Stay At Home Moms Have More Trouble Sleeping Than Working Moms
Now here's a debate I can participate in...a Tampa Bay news station just reporting some recent findings about women and sleep: "American women are not getting a good night's rest. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 60 percent say they only get the sleep they need a few nights a week or less. Even more say they frequently have sleep problems. The lack of sleep interferes with about 43 percent of women's ability to do normal activities during the day. The women polled say the lack of sleep affects virtually every aspect of their time-pressed lives, leaving them late for work, stressed out, too tired for sex and little time for their friends."
The crazy thing is the study says that stay at home moms face more problems with insomnia than working moms! I guess as a working mom, I'm so damn exhausted at the end of the day that I look forward to having a clandestine meeting with my pillow every night.

I can't comment on the accuracy of the study, but all I know is that I am NOT "Sleepless in Seattle"! As a working mom, my head hits the pillow and I sleep soundly until my "human alarm clock"...aka my 8-year-old son...wakes me at 6 AM. Sleep on, sisters!
