Women need to sleep longer because they use brains more than men

The results of a study involving hundreds of male and female middle - aged women have shown that females need more sleep than males and that females suffer more health problems as a sleep deprivation.

On the other hand, these feelings have not been linked to the same degree of insomnia in men”, researchers have said.

Jim Horne, the head of this study, says one of the main sleep functions is to allow the brain to recover.

According to him, the more you use your brain during the day, the more you need sleep.

She explains that women usually perform more tasks, so they use their brains more than men.

Considering that they need more sleep than men do.

It's worth noting that on average women sleep 20 minutes longer than men.
