Overall, the agreement regarding sex differences in sleep seems to be that hormones regulate sleep differently in males and females, causing, for example, more risk of sleep deprivation and insomnia in females (https://t.co/SqzyiuBHVn)

@cynthia_godsoe @RebelLawProf Side note, at more of a distance from politics, apparently women sleep more than men. Even sympathetic sources find no way around that: https://t.co/kELSUiPfsN Differences in details reach far: https://t.co/aPPvgjPUaj.

@stuart1p @wwwritingclub @ScreamOfficial @CroneInAMillion @FridaRadFem @suzanne_moore @CelticFC Could well be. As you can see from this 2016 paper, similar studies returned mixed results & it's not clear that these are *sex differences* as opposed to sexed differences (differences in the experiences of males & females) that affect sleep. https://t.co/S4CRibzVZp
