Today Americans everywhere are working more and sleeping less. For working mothers the news is even worse.
Lack of sleep is a common contributor to tension headaches.
This is just one aspect of the physical and emotional toll that working more and sleeping less takes on most of us. Another, more surprising effect is difficulty sleeping. People who don't get enough sleep find it harder to handle the stresses of everyday life. This in turn generates even more stress, which frequently interferes with getting to sleep or sleeping through the night. The result is a lose-lose situation.
