Just thought this was a fun and interesting read

"Do women use their brains more than men?
Multi-tasking can be mentally and emotionally draining, but could it also be the reason women need more sleep than men? According to researchers at the Loughborough University U.K.-based Sleep Research Center, 1 women do use their brains more than men – so much more so that, yes, they do require more sleep. In an interview with the New York Post, the director of the U.K. Sleep Research Center, Jim Horne, explains:
“Women’s brains are wired differently, so their sleep need will be slightly greater. Women tend to multi-task—they do lots at once and are flexible, and so they use more of their actual brain than men do,” Horne says."

I've always needed way more sleep than any male partner I've had. I always assumed it was hormonal but I have zero knowledge to be honest!
