Lack of sleep saps men's brain power

Afterall this study is about how the participants perceived the quality of their sleep as well as the various body readings taken during the sleep period. My fella insists it takes him ages to fall asleep when really he's asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, personal perception is a powerful thing.

And is this just an excuse to give certain men carte blanche over all the rubbish mistakes they make? The ultimate 'get out of jail free card', all sentences/arguments would start with 'I'm sorry darling but I didn't sleep so that why I didn't ......'

See? She says all that and still moans when I pass out on the settee on a Friday night. Then, to cap it all, she gets @rsey when I can't even manage to pick the paper up, let alone push one of those noisy hoovers around! Bloody women - no pleasing 'em, I tell you

Thats not exclusively a male trait, My girlfriend is constantly stealing the quilt and leaving me with 2 inches at the end of the bed. Quite funny really since she has never had a double bed and the last single bed I had was about 10 years ago, you would really think we would be the other way around.

If only we were

I find that most men plough their own furrow with little reference to what women say or do, except when they want to go to the pub/play on the xbox/ stand in the street chatting with their little scamp pals (delete as applicable) then they suddenly develop feelings and consideration for the woman in their life

Which part the pub/xbox/pals or the feelings and consideration?

Or shall I make a wild guess?

I'll make you a deal. You can make a wild guess, and then claim its intuition

That's a recognised medical condition Gaz. It's a reported syndrome where there are periodic erratic movements of your limbs when you sleep. It's often associated with restless legs syndrome. Do you get that too?

It can lead to sleep deprivation and extreme tiredness the following day.

It's not uncommon either...

I can't believe that anyone would do that - just plain wrong. I'm just glad I don't do that, or people would think you were talking about me



























Hang on...
