  "textContent": "A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting found that sleep problems in middle-aged and older adults are tied to lower psychological well-being nine years later. The link was stronger in women than in men, suggesting that sleep may play an outsized role in how women feel and function later in life.",
