The period sleep gap crisis 

Shop WUKA Boxer Period Pants

Ever heard of the period sleep gap? It is hardly spoken about, even though it affects so many people. Basically, it is the hours of sleep lost due to periods, whether it's getting up in the night to change or adjust your period product (we’re talking about you, leaky single use tampons and pads!), waking up in a wet patch, painful period cramps or hormones causing body temperature shifts. In fact because of reasons like this, menstruating women and people with periods lose about 5 months worth of sleep across their lifetimes! Despite not being spoken about often, 71% of females have poor sleep quality due to menstruation.

Losing sleep has emotional consequences like increased irritability, less empathy, lower patience, and slower thinking. On top of that, long term sleep deprivation heightens the risk of diseases. Unfortunately, period stigmas make it more difficult for people to get help with more than a third of women who menstruate being ashamed to discuss their period. If you feel you are struggling with your period, it's important to go to the GP or Gynaecologist to get the help you need. If you want to learn more about the period sleep gap give this a read. 

At WUKA, we knew that the period sleep gap needed to be addressed asap because everyone deserves to have a crucial good night's sleep. Enter, WUKA Overnight Period Pants.

FAQS

Can you sleep without a pad on your period? 

If you are on your period, it is best to sleep with a period product to absorb your flow.
