SciFi and Fantasy Art: Why not a sandwoman?

Why is the traditional character who brings sleep and dreams to people in general and children in particular always thought to be male? This is the origin of this drawing, sketched with a mechanical pencil and much modified with Photoshop: the Sandwoman!

Part of a tour:

Why?

4 Jun 2001	Sara Loosen	Loading... Oooh.... Someone should introduce her to Morpheus. By the way, I never read Gaiman and Amano's Sandman comic, being highly allergic to Amano's style, so I don't know what Morpheus would think of her.
11 Jun 2001	Kathleen Ann Brown	Loading... Awww, I should go learn french, then I can understand what you guys are saying! Oooo, so this is the sandman's femle counterpart, hunh? I like it! steals her coat MINE! I WANT!
9 Aug 2001	Coen de Moor	Loading... Can she come to my place and kiss me goodnight? That will sure help me sleep well. I'm not sure... Is a professional supposed to kiss clients?
15 Aug 2001	Coen de Moor	Loading... Is a professional supposed to kiss clients? I guess not. Maybe it's better this way. I think my wife would have some objections to a sandwoman entering our house at night to kiss me goodnight.
6 Jan 2002	Adaon Nightwind	Loading... And her name could be "Sandy". I like it!
1 Jun 2002		Loading... Oh, this is good! Great idea.... Um, by the way, Gaiman only worked with Amano for the tenth anniversary book. Which wasn't a comic. But the comics are really good, they had a rotating cast of artists which kept it interesting. Definitely worth going to a comic book store to at least peek at ^-~
29 Jun 2002	Cupid	Loading... ooh. Tres bienne. C'est une bonne idee. Toi, tu es tres creative (don't know thw word for it. sorry) merci pour la dame du reves! elle est superbe! C'est une belle image. Continuez faire des images. elles sont belles. Did I say that right? My french is fine in class, but horrid online
30 Sep 2002	Heather M. 'Aileen' Heinz	Loading... Wonderful idea. I especially like the background.
