So the news is finally in and confirmed. Women need more sleep. Deal with it all you men! Jim Horne, a sleep expert and former director of the Sleep Research Center at Loughborough University, in charge of a study conducted on 210 middle aged men and women, has confirmed the fact that women require more sleep due to certain requirements. Women need at least 20 minutes more sleep than a man, mainly due to the fact that women work more than men. The more a person works during the day the more sleep they require at night, so as to recover and repair itself. Most women tend to multitask, taking on work both at home and in the workplace, this requires them to be extensively flexible but also incredibly stressed- as a result they tend to use their brains more intensively than men- If enough rest is not gotten, a woman can begin to suffer from a psychological breakdown. Result: WOMEN NEED MORE SLEEP!
