Men, especially those juggling long work hours or night shifts, often lead this pack, with lifestyle releases like late-night screen time or caffeine cutting into rest. Poor quality of sleep is a common issue that disrupts lives every day and night. Insomnia, marked by trouble falling or staying asleep, affects an estimated 10-30% of adults globally, with around 10% experiencing chronic symptoms lasting months or more, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s roughly 33 million people grappling with persistent sleeplessness, often tied to stress, anxiety, or medical conditions.Continue reading

In a 2023 study, the American Psychological Association found that social media usage “is associated with poor body image in youth, a known predictor of eating disorders.” This fact has been, more or less, accepted as common knowledge for the past decade or so. And while the prevalence of eating disorders has been reflected in the domains of medicine, public health, and academia, an overwhelming majority of the ensuing discourse has focused solely on women and girls.

There’s a noticeable trend in research about men and women that often tells only part of the story. A prime example is domestic violence studies that falsely claim women are the sole victims, while ignoring men’s experiences. This happens in other areas too—like reproductive coercion, teen violence, healthcare, and others. Women’s troubles are spotlighted, while men’s are overlooked. Once you see this pattern, it’s hard to unsee it. Researchers acknowledge that puberty is an important factor in these behaviors, but what does puberty primarily signal? It highlights the increase in testosterone levels in young males. However, the researchers never mention testosterone.Continue reading
