WOMEN need more sleep than MEN


            

Recently I read an interesting article about the sleeping hour comparison of men and women with some medical explanation. According to it, Women need more sleep than men - around 20 minutes of more sleep on an average, owing to their busy and multi-tasking brain. As the women’s brains are wired differently from men’s and are more complex, their sleep need is slightly greater and so women need 20 minutes more shut-eye than the average man. One of the major functions of sleep is to allow the brain to recover and repair itself. During deep sleep, the cortex part of the brain is responsible for thought memory, language and so on which disengage from the senses and goes into recovery mode. The more a person uses his brain during the day, the more sleep he needs at night to recover. Women tend to multi-task and so they use more of their actual brain than men do. Because of that, their sleep need is greater. Of course, a man who has a complex job that involves a lot of decision-making and lateral thinking may also need more sleep than the average male, though probably still not as much as a woman. But I found lot of girls getting up early in the morning even though they go to bed very late. I feel very bad and I request all my friends to take a deep sleep during night hours but not in the classrooms or offices.

MEN – WOMEN ATTRACTION by HUMOUR


A study shows that women think that funny men are smarter and more likely to be honest than others. Although studies have shown that humour is not linked to intelligence, Women have evolved to find intelligence in it because it suggests that a man will be a good provider for her and her children. Women believe humour as an indication of a guy's intelligence, an attractive quality and only a clever man should be more able to provide resources for his offspring. Some celebrities stated that ‘being funny helped him to attract women from his teenage years onwards’. Also people don’t look at physical imperfections if he is provided with humorous character

To rate the attractiveness of a sense of humour in the study, 45 heterosexual women were asked to read shorts descriptions of themselves compiled by 20 men, 10 of which were scored as extremely funny and 10 as only slightly funny. The women were then asked how intelligent and honest they thought that the men were and how likely they would be to go on to develop a friendship or a long-term relationship with them. The findings show that men who used the funniest descriptions of themselves were thought to be significantly more intelligent than those who weren't as witty. The women in the study also judged the men who had a good sense of humour as more honest and said that they would be better catch for a long-term relationship. While women appear to prefer men who makes them laugh, the same does not hold true when the sexes are reversed - and men are not more attracted to funny girls.
