Women need more sleep because they use more of their brain, says science

According to a recent study conducted by Loughborough University’s Sleep Research Center in England, women need to sleep somewhere around 20 minutes more than men, Woman’s Day reports. The study followed 210 middle-aged men and women.

“Women’s brains are wired differently … so their sleep need will be slightly greater,” professor Jim Horne, the former director of the research center, said. The study also found women are affected differently due to lack of sleep.

*me, shaking my girlfriend awake at 3 am* it’s pretty fucked up that jar jar is almost solely responsible for palpatine’s rise to power. and how could jar jar have gone from outcast to general to senator so quickly? if he’s really a bumbling idiot, why would he get promoted like that? and how did his speech convince a divided senate to abandon democracy and give palpatine absolute power? the only explanation is that he was using force mind tricks to further the rise of the empire. jar jar is a sith lord. are you awake emily? he’s a sith

you know what’s really irritating

when male academics constantly refer to men by their surnames and women by their first names

like you’d never go to a lecture expecting shakespeare to be referred to as “william” but it’s not at all uncommon to sit through an entire lecture in which jane austen is referred to constantly as “jane”

it’s such a petty thing but it just really rubs me the wrong way, like it has a real suggestion of respect and admiration/lack thereof
