I just don't think you can generalize how much sleep one needs. It is a very individual thing. Not all women need eight or nine hours and not all men need seven or eight hours. We need to stop generalizing and realize we are all different complex beings. We should not generalize for the whole of a population.
1Wow. Didn't mean to get so serious!
4/5 - yeah I agree on the sleep issue. I have always heard that it really just depends on the person and some people need more than others. Not on the sex. I guess it's just about finding out what works best for you.
25/5 Yay me.
3@ mchlny - people will always need different amounts of sleep, depending upon the person and gender. However, the population as a whole falls on a bell curve - some people need very little sleep, some need a lot, but most are somewhere in the middle. That's where they get this "men need less sleep than women" thing. Of course there are women who need less sleep than men, but most need more.
43/5
