Did you know that women need more sleeping time than men?

Question

I read a post saying that when men get enough sleep after 7-8 hours, women need to sleep 9-10 hours. During period times, women might need more sleeping time than their regular sleeping needs, for some it might reach 14 hours. Do you agree to that? What are your experiences and observations?

For me, as a women, I function the best after 9 hours of sleep regarless of my period. After 9 hours, I feel awake and my body wakes up by itself without an alarm. I asked it to my cousin, she said she needs more sleep time than her fiancee.

I stayed up late a few nights this week voluntary because I was busy doing some things and I noticed chest pain the next day from sleep deprivation. I have no difficulty falling asleep but when I purposely delay falling asleep to achieve something, I seem to get symptoms.

I can't remember the last time I slept 9H without waking up. I usually sleep between 7-8H and that's good enough for me. My Husband sleeps between 6-8H per night. I like to nap during the day once in a while tho.

I had very many days, where I slept for 12 hours!

It depends on how much you tax your body and mind and the environment, that you are spending your waking times such as absorbing a lot of sun, which yields to sun fatigue.

I usually sleep 5-6 hours, while my SO usually sleeps 8-9 hours. I've gotten very good at being quiet, coming to bed about an hour after she's gone to bed, and quietly getting up 1-2 hours before she does.

That's funny. I don't think I know any women who actually get that much rest. Thanks for the new factoid! :)

According to the CDC adults (both male & female) require 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Statistics show that the most very successful people never sleep more than 6 hours per night.

Hmm. I didn’t know that. I don’t sleep that much, but maybe that’s because I’m still young.

I sleep less than most so all of my experiences with gfs have been that they sleep more than me. I also encourage it since it's a pain point for me.
