Women rate their sleep quality lower than men, despite sleeping better. This is because they estimate their night-time awakenings more accurately than men, who tend to underestimate their frequency of wakefulness Read Full Article #SleepQuality #WomenSleep…
😴 New research from Karolinska Institutet reveals a paradox: women report poorer sleep quality than men, yet objective measurements show their sleep is actually better, with fewer awakenings and more deep sleep.
🧠 This difference may be linked to how men and women perceive and remember nighttime awakenings. Men tend to underestimate their wake-ups, contributing to a more positive self-assessment of sleep.
📈 The gap in sleep perception between genders widens with age, with men experiencing more noticeable sleep deterioration than women.

🧠 New research from Brunel University London challenges the stereotype of women being better multitaskers. While both sexes handle complex tasks equally, women can also hold conversations simultaneously, unlike men.
👨🔬 In an experiment with 41 men and 37 women, participants juggled four real-life simulated tasks. Men struggled significantly more than women when asked to respond to spoken questions during the tasks.
📊 Observers rated male multitaskers as less in control, performing worse, and using less effort when responding to questions compared to female multitaskers. These differences were more significant under time pressure.
