TIRED OF LIVING.
Byline: JOHN VON RADOWITZMEN may die earlier than women because they are worse sleepers, it emerged yesterday.
Researchers in the United States found women suffer less from sleep loss than men.
The findings also showed that missing sleep can affect hormone levels and generate harmful chemicals in the body.
Chief scientist Dr Alexandros Vgontzas, of Pennsylvania State University, said women's sleeping habits may have evolved to help them cope with crying babies.
The study, published in the journal Chemistry and Industry, showed that women had 70 minutes of deep sleep per night compared with around only 40 minutes for men.
