Research claims women sleep better than men

Men may like to consider a new bed or Tempur mattress to help them get comfortable at night, as research suggests they do not sleep as well as women.

Sleep medicine specialist Thomas Bloxham has claimed that women experience longer, deeper sleep and experience fewer problems such as narcolepsy or the breathing disorder sleep apnoea.

Mr Bloxham, who works at the Sleep Medicine Center in Kansas, also says that women are more likely to enjoy a good night's rest without waking up or interruption, Freep.com reported.

He suggests that a nap between midday and 3pm may be one way help relieve tiredness.

However, it should be no longer than half an hour as "long naps leave people groggy and drooling and confused", Bloxham recommends.

Men finding it difficult to sleep may find that a Tempur mattress can help to relieve any aches and pains they may experience as it can reduce the strain on muscles and joints.
