It’s True – Women Need More Sleep Than Men! Here’s Why.

#1

Most men don't seem to realise that their ladies need a longer period of shut-eye every day. Though physically the two sexes might do the same amount of work in a day, research says that women need more sleep than men. It may sound weird at first but once you hear out the reasons, you will agree too. Read on to know more.

#2 Repair Time For The Brain.

It is not an unknown fact that our body, primarily our brain, repairs itself while we're busy in dreamland. Ideally, the more you put your brain to use during the day, the more time will be required for repair during the night. Now since us women tend to multitask more than men, thanks to our constant shuffle between personal and professional life, our sleep need is greater.

#3 Increase In Complexity

Medical experts are of the opinion that women's brains are a lot more complex than an average man's. They are wired differently and hence the requirements are also different. On an average, a woman needs 20 more minutes of sleep than her man. However, this may differ from body to body.

#4 Greater Risks Of Disorders Due To Sleep-Deprivation

According to a recent survey, women who were poor-sleepers were also stricken by various mental disorders. Ladies are more prone to high levels of psychological stress, depression, anger-management issues, and anxiety-related disorders. On the other hand, sleep-deprived men do not suffer from any of these health problems.

Interestingly, it's not the overall sleep quality but the average time a person takes to fall asleep that decides the sleep pattern. So, if you find yourself gazing at the ceiling instead of dozing off, take up the matter seriously and go visit a medical expert.
