It is known that healthy sleep - the key to good health and appearance. A person who regularly do not get enough sleep, begin to malfunction of the body: there is irritability, deteriorating memory, inhibited reactions, and metabolism are violated, leading to unnecessary scattering and set kilograms.
British scientists from the Center for the Study of sleep Luboro University conducted the study, which took part of 210 men and women of middle age, and say that is especially important to fully sleep women. The duration of sleep should be at least 20 minutes longer than the representatives of a strong half of mankind. Such a conclusion they did in connection with the fact that, according to them, a woman's brain works during the day harder.
"One of the main functions of sleep - to allow the brain to recover and relax. During deep sleep, the cortex (the prefrontal cortex of the brain) - the part of the brain responsible for memory, thought, speech "Disconnected" from the senses and goes into upgrade mode, "- explains study author, professor and head of Jim center Horn.
It also notes that the duration of sleep depends on the complexity and intensity of the work that the brain served throughout the day. "Women tend to multi-task - they do lots of things at once, their thinking is more flexible. they also involve more areas of the brain to work than men. Therefore, the duration of their sleep should be larger. On average, it is 20 minutes, although all individually, "- said the professor.
In addition, studies have shown that sleep deprivation in women causes of stress, depression, feeling of hostility, aggression and irritability. The men who slept less than normal, these problems were not observed. In this case, experts say, men who perform difficult complex work that requires decision making and lateral thinking, and need to sleep longer.
