Getting at least seven hours of sleep per night is recommended for both women and men. However, women may need more sleep than men to make up for poorer sleep quality. Factors affecting sleep quality in women include hormonal changes, faster circadian rhythms, and additional stress from being a caregiver.

A migraine can last anywhere from several hours to three days. This complex neurological disorder causes recurring attacks of moderate to severe, one-sided headaches and other symptoms like nausea or light sensitivity. How long they last and how they feel depends on your type of migraine, your specific case, and how you manage symptoms.   Migraine symptoms typically last between one and three days; rarely, people feel effects for a week or more.
