How long to sleep

1. Ladies, prepare for sleep!

The complexity of women`s brain functioning creates a need for additional rest. Professor Jim Horne from Loughborough University in England says: `In women, lack of sleep is associated with high levels of psychological stress, as well as significant feelings of vulnerability, depression, and anger. Men do not have such associations.`

2. 8 hours? Not necessarily...

How long should a person sleep? The usual eight hours of sleep at night is not suitable for everyone – for most people, seven hours is completely sufficient. Moreover, Professor Horne reminds that women`s brains `are different from men`s, with a more complex structure, so their need for sleep is slightly higher.`

3. Why do women`s brains work more complexly?

Compared to men, women are more inclined to multitasking and use their brains in an intensified mode. Accordingly, they need more time to recover, and sleep provides this recovery like nothing else.

The question of what time to go to bed, everyone answers for themselves. The recommended time to go to bed is around half past ten. This way, you can include the healthiest `beauty sleep,` which lasts only until midnight and affects your body`s condition for the entire next day.

4. What about tired men?

Professor Horne notes that men whose work involves making many decisions may also need more sleep. But even in this case, a woman`s need for rest will be greater.
