Loughborough, UK, January 27 -- Latest research by a British sleep expert proposes that women need 20 minutes' more sleep on an average, as they perform more jobs than men.
The research initiated by Professor Jim Horne and his colleagues from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University found that 18 percent of women complain of a bad night sleep at least five days in a week compared to only 8 percent men.
Professor Horne, who is the lead author of the study and also director at the Sleep Research Centre, informs, “Women need 20 minutes more shut-eye than the average man. This is because women’s brains are wired differently from men’s and are more complex, so their sleep need is slightly greater.”
