Researchers at Duke University found that, because of the hormones, they get angry when they sleep poorly
NEW YORK - Researchers from Duke University, North Carolina (USA) studied the sleep habits of 210 people and found that women who do not get enough sleep are more hostile and angry in the morning, compared with men who spend while in bed. The explanation is simple: the hormonal differences between men and women means that they need more time they sleep.
When you do not have a good night's sleep, women suffer mentally and physically to keep hormones in balance, the researchers said.
- The study suggests that poor sleep - measured by the number of hours, number of times they woke up during the night and, most importantly, the time it took to fall asleep - has more serious consequences for the health of women - explains Professor Edward Suarez. - For women, poor sleep is associated with high levels of distress, great feeling of hostility, depression and anger. In men it does not.
The study also shows that women are more likely to develop heart disease, depression and psychological problems than men when they do not sleep well for a long period of life.
