Scientifically proved:women need more sleep than men

Do women need more sleep than men? Yes, according to Dr. Jim Horne , Britain's leading expert in sleep science. In an article published in the Daily Mail , Horne explained that on average women need twenty more minutes of sleep than men.

The researcher pointed out that women tend to multi-task and use more of their actual brain than men leading to a greater need for sleep. Essentially, the more you use your brain during the day, the more it needs to rest while asleep. While women need more sleep than men, many are not getting the proper amount. There are several factors that may affect women's quantity and quality of sleep: Sleep disturbances during pregnancy due to excess weight and position of the fetus. Difficulty sleeping during menopause due to hot flashes. Being woken up and moved around on the bed by the partner. (Men tend to be larger than women) Worrying about problems and losing sleep as a result.


A study from your wife’s new favorite neuroscientist, Jim Horne, found that women need 20 minutes more sleep than men. If you don’t strongly object already, wait for it, because the reason is that their brains work harder and need more time to recover.
Horne is known by some as the former director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, but now known by most as a traitor among men.
 When people sleep their brains go into repair mode, and much like the aftermath of a bachelor party, the amount of recovery needed for everyone is different. Women, who Horne says have a tendency to multitask (or “do everything” as they refer to it), “do lots at once and are flexible — and so they use more of their actual brain than men do. Because of that, their sleep need is greater.” Not only did women disproportionately suffer from poor sleep (18 percent compared to 8 percent of men), the effects of such sleeplessness led to increased anger, hostility and depression in only women, not men. In other words, that’s what her problem is.
