Q: I\u2019ve heard that women need several hours more sleep per night than men do. Is this true?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you browse social media for information on healthy sleep habits, you may stumble across one of the many posts<\/a> arguing that women require more sleep than men \u2014 \u201cdramatically more sleep<\/a>,\u201d some even claim. The reasons given vary, including hormonal differences and the notion that women have faster-working brains<\/a> than men do.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, we don\u2019t have any legitimate research that suggests these claims are true.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no evidence that there is a fundamental biological reason women need more sleep,\u201d said Dr. Suzanne Bertisch, a physician specializing in sleep disorders <\/em>at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital in Boston.<\/p>\n

On average, women do seem to spend several more minutes in bed every night than men do, but that doesn\u2019t mean they require more sleep, she said.<\/p>\n
