Ladies First (Not Really)-How Do Women Sleep?

According to this physician, women require more sleep than men.  The reason for this is the “female constitution” (everything about being a female) induces “nervous excitability” that is on a greater scale than the “stronger sex” (men)…yeah, it’s hard being a female, so much nervousness…

Anywho, the level of nervous excitability causes women to be light sleepers (no, snoring spouses and two-hour infant feedings were not considered) and results in women becoming “addicted to dreaming”. Her vivid dreams of marriage, charity work, and chaise-lounge-laying (what more is there for a girl to dream about?) leaves such an impression that she feels tired in the mornings.

Now you know the secret to this burning question. Apparently, the fact that females have less internal fortitude than men is the culprit. If you thought it was because women were bored out of their minds in the 19^th century due to not being allowed an education, hold positions, and use their minds to think about ANYTHING other than getting married, then you were wrong. Yep, I’m finding it hard to contain my excitement to now know I can’t sleep because I’m a female and my nervous excitability is high because…I’m a female.
