For Women Only: Bad Sleep Equals Bad Heart

So here's another report citing the results of poor sleep for women.

Researchers conducted a study of 210 men and women and concluded that women who reported sleeping poorly had more psychological distress than their peers who slept well.

The poor sleepers also had higher blood pressure, levels of insulin linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other health ailments.

Interestingly enough, the poor-sleeping women reported more symptoms of depression, hositility and anger.

Of course. They aren't sleeping!

One of the major differences between the genders could be the brain chemical serotonin, the hormone mealtonin or the amino acid tryptophan. All three contribute to mood and cardiovascular health. But that hasn't been proven.

And why is no one focusing on the different personality types? Men who are Type A's probably have just as hard of a time falling asleep as do their counterparts. So, the question becomes the study.

The report showed only 210 men and women. Where they of equal number? same personality types? same age, weight, lifestyles?

But... to my fault, I haven't read the study. Although the article should have answered my questions to begin with.

I say throw out the study or write a better news brief.
