It is no secret that with the many expectations placed on their shoulders, women (particularly mothers) need extra support and care to fulfill their responsibilities while maintaining their well-being. In celebration of Women’s Month, LAC Philippines recognizes the multifaceted roles women play in society, constantly balancing professional duties with personal well-being. With that, it is reminding hardworking women to take care of themselves and prioritize sleep.
Sleep and a Woman’s Well-being
As they juggle multiple roles, women’s needs vary. Whether it’s staying sharp and productive or maintaining a vibrant glow, these can be achieved by fostering holistic well-being, where quality sleep plays a crucial role.
On average, Filipinos work 40.9 hours per week while only getting 6.13 hours of sleep per night. Despite being praised for their resilience in shouldering various jobs and social commitments, this relentless pace, as noted by the Global Sleep Care Centre Inc., masks a growing sleep crisis. Insufficient and poor-quality sleep is becoming the norm, particularly among those in high-pressure jobs and night shift workers, where rest is often compromised.
This is especially unfortunate for women, who need more sleep. According to an article by the Sleep Foundation, women experience more fragmented and lower-quality sleep due to a combination of societal norms and biological factors. These include caregiving responsibilities that require them to wake up during the night, and chronic pain, which women are more likely to experience such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain also tends to disrupt sleep more during menstruation and pregnancy, making quality rest even harder to achieve.
Problems Related to Sleep Deprivation
The effects of sleep deprivation go beyond fatigue. Lack of quality sleep disrupts the skin’s natural barrier function, leading to dryness, premature aging, and worsening skin conditions. It also impairs cognitive function, reducing focus, efficiency, and overall well-being.
While getting enough sleep is crucial, it doesn’t always equate to feeling truly rested. Sleep quality—often influenced by work stress, financial concerns, and digital distractions—can be just as important as sleep duration in achieving restorative rest.

Countless resources emphasize the importance of good sleep and skin health, often recommending habits like establishing a relaxing bedtime routine, optimizing the sleep environment, limiting caffeine and alcohol, exercising regularly, and managing stress. While these lifestyle adjustments are essential, targeted supplementation can also help further enhance sleep quality and skin vitality.
