New research by scientists in London, published in Numan in early September 2023, sounds a strong alarm. Doctors found in the study that 71% of men from UK they have problems with sleep, which affects their health and life.
Medical company Numan announces that there is a crisis in men, who are affected by insomnia, they cannot sleep the minimum number of hours, according to News Medical.
The survey shows that men don’t get enough sleep and that when they do, the quality of their rest is poor. The findings are cause for concern as a growing body of research points to the critical role quality sleep plays in overall health and disease prevention.

Recently, other research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control in YOUR found that adults who sleep less than 7 hours a night are at greater risk of health problems, including obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
Numan’s research suggests that most adult men regularly fail to get enough sleep, with survey respondents sleeping an average of 6 hours 35 minutes a night – well below the optimal 8-9 hours and even below the minimum recommended by the National Health Service (NHS) in Great Britain.
Almost half of the men surveyed (46%) report having difficulty falling asleep, while more than one in ten men (13%) mention regular panic attacks and night sweats during the night. Another one in ten men (9%) report taking sleeping supplements or medication before going to bed.
According to the survey, men approach bedtime in a wide range of ways, with over two-fifths (43%) browsing content on their phone or texting before going to bed.
Men’s bedtime habits that keep them awake and prevent them from getting enough sleep are: browsing content on a mobile device (43%), reading a book (29%), drinking alcoholic beverages (12%), exercising ( 9%), taking sleep supplements or medication (9%).
As so many men struggle with sleep, some have reported that it has had a negative impact on their daily lives. Over a quarter (27%) noted that lack of sleep affected their social life and their ability to perform at work. Another quarter (25%) even reported that it affected their love life.
Methods to fall asleep more easily
“Our research supports our view that a significant number of men in the UK struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep, and the numbers are a cause for concern. Sleep is vital because it is how the body rests and repairs itself.
When men don’t sleep, it can increase their chances of developing diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression and more. Men need to take their sleep seriously. Anyone who struggles with sleep can take action by changing their lifestyle, improving their bedtime routine by eliminating light stimulation.
In some cases, using supplements and medications — all of which are options for eligible patients as part of Numan’s new sleep treatment program. It may also be helpful to consult a doctor before starting a course of treatment,” said Dr. Luke Pratsides, Numan’s Chief Medical Officer.

Doctors have given even more tips that can help men sleep better at night and get the minimum required rest of 7-8 hours. These include the following: Having a regular sleep schedule, meaning going to bed and waking up at the same times every day.
Avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening, as it works by blocking a chemical called adenosine in the brain. Therefore, it is best to avoid drinking caffeine in the afternoon or evening.
Another tip is to turn your room into a sleep haven. A mattress, a comforter and pillows. In addition, you must have blackout blinds to block light from entering the room, as it can disturb sleep.
It should also be noted that exercise helps people sleep better, regardless of whether they have sleep problems or not. In addition, exercise improves sleep in those affected by sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia.
