Women in health, medicine, and social sciences make up a large and growing proportion of today’s scientists exploring insomnia. However, significant gaps in gender equity remain. Women scientists who secure tenure-track positions publish less, are cited less, hold fewer grants, and remain underrepresented at the more senior levels of their field. Women in these fields also face major disparities in pay and biases arising from long-standing gender norms that serve as barriers to research productivity and advancement.

Science and gender equality are essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Equal representation is necessary to encourage creative, innovative research that is comprehensive and relevant to all humans. Most recently, research has demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic had a disproportionately negative effect on the publication rates of women in health and medicine, further exacerbating the structural inequalities that already exist in these fields

Therefore, led by the Chief Editor, Dr. Patricia Haynes, together with Dr. Darlynn Rojo-Wissar, Dr. Kristi Pruiksma, and Dr. Jessica Meers the Insomnia section is proud to promote the work of outstanding female researchers providing significant contributions to insomnia research. This editorial initiative of particular relevance highlights advances in the field of insomnia, broadly defined to include studies that assess symptoms of insomnia and/or insomnia disorder.

Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as female.

This Research Topic is part of the "Women In" series. Other titles in this series are:
