Studies Highlight Sleep Duration's Impact on Ageing and Women's Additional Sleep Needs
Recent studies highlight the importance of adequate sleep for health and ageing. Research indicates women biologically require 20 to 60 minutes more sleep than men due to higher cognitive demands and multitasking, while insufficient sleep can cause metabolic and psychological harm. Separately, a large study found that sleeping between 6.4 and 7.8 hours nightly is linked to slower biological ageing, with both shorter and longer durations accelerating ageing and increasing disease risk across multiple organs.
