Sleep a feminist issue?

Interesting article on sleep in The Times this weekend. 70% of us have trouble sleeping – I know I do! Looking at the famous I was amazed that the amount of sleep varied from 1 hour: Salvador Dali and 4 hours: Madonna (something to do with her new lover?) to 15 hours: Mariah Carey – apparently necessary to sing the way she wants to.


Penelope Cruz clocks up 12 hours a night in the belief that this helps her to keep her weight down. How wonderful it would be if that was true. Does it work because she has less time to eat?


Apparently sleep is going to become the next big gender issue because women need more sleep than men. This is because they work their brains harder – not sure if that’s a compliment or not?! But what is keeping us awake? A male partner that snores is the most likely reason for a disturbed night.
