Women have higher inflammation markers, which indicate developing health problems. As inflammation markers are also linked to pain, sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus 2013, explained that women can literally be in more pain when they wake up. That's enough to make any woman feel rather grumpy. By contrast, the state of a man's health does not appear to be closely linked to how much they sleeps.⁠ ⁠ In the study, men showed no increased risk of developing the ailments that affect women when they are sleep deprived.⁠ "We found that women had more depression, women had more anger, and women had more hostility early in the morning," said Dr. Breus.⁠ ⁠ So what does Dr. Breus advise?⁠ If you don’t manage to get enough sleep at night, try taking strategic naps. However, he warned that those naps should be either 25 minutes or 90 minutes long. Any other length will make the snoozer feel worse when they wake, he said.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #sleepdeprivation #sleepless #sleepproblems #science #biology
