Do women sleep less than men?

Chris Idzikowski (Director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre) gives expert video advice on: Do women sleep less than men?; Do women experience more sleeping problems?; Do sleep disorders affect women differently? and more...

Curiously there was a UK national statistics office survey done a few years ago, and it was the largest, most controlled survey that anybody's done, and there it found that women were getting about ten minutes more sleep than men on average. On the whole, I don't think that's what's experienced by the majority of people. It raises a whole series of questions of why do women seem to get poorer sleep or less sleep than men.
