Research suggests that women sleep slightly more than men, however, this can vary from person to person. In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between gender and sleep, including hormonal and neurological differences. We also discuss the impact of unpaid labour, varying perceptions, and societal expectations on sleep quality.
TLDR: Whilst gender can influence how much sleep we need, this may differ greatly amongst different individuals
