Sleep deprivation has long been recognized by researchers as a limiting factor in performance. The prevailing belief that one "can get along on four hours sleep" is a myth, held equally by men and women, I would say.

Making it a "feminist" issue is absurd, a sign perhaps of terminal PMS.

“To my old man, sleep was life, or at least one of its more fulfilling aspects.” - Jean Shepherd

Hey. I’m there. It thrills me to know I’m still oppressing women. I’ll dream about you, baby.

It would be great if they could sleep more - at least when they’re asleep they wouldn’t be bugging the rest of us.

My Mum would have told them this for free if theyd asked her...

She liked lie ins and naps...

She lived a productive life til she died at 80...

Cooking for her and Dad and looking after the house...

She volunteered at the local Senior Center helping people younger than herself till she died...

Most never knew that a lady at least 10 years older than them was running errands and reading to them and writing letters etc...

Good on ya Mum...

The Left want to introduce nap-time as a way to drag down American productivity.

This is another way to destroy the American Dream, which they despise passionately.

women’s sleep deprivation as “the next feminist issue”.

Feminism has entered its decadent phase, I see...

Puffington got plenty of sleep when she was married to her closet-gay hubby (and without his millions of $$$, she’d be a big fat Greek nobody).

i am a night owl... if i could, i would live the Bohemian lifestyle... i would stay up all night... go to midnight bowling with my family... midnight shows... all night cafes... i get my best sleep between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.... that’s when i sleep the deepest... unfortunately, i cannot keep those hours practically... so i stay up late and wake up at about 7:00 (this is new... i used to wake up at 9ish)... but to do all i need to do—i’m a homeschooling mom—i need to arise at 7:00—now that oldest son is approaching high school and has a heavier academic load... so somewhere between 2:00 and 4:00 i take a nap... 20 minutes to an hour... when i worked in corporate America, there were times during my lunch hour i would drive 20 minutes to get home, take a 20 minute nap, and then take another 20 minutes to get back to work... no matter now tired i am, i cannot get to sleep before midnight... i get this burst of energy somewhere between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m...

women in particular can’t function well if they haven’t slept well

And that never happens to men? Wow, we must be tough!

It may not be oppression by men that keeps Naomi Wolf up at night. I think it’s the paisley headboard on her bed.

[Ann Archy]

OMG!! The woman is INSANE!!!! Hey Naomi, stick to picking out khakis for Gore.

Before the liberals and feminists made it now a necessity for women to work many women could have a lie in while their husbands went off to work or a little nap in the afternoon before the children came home.

Now women need to work and take care of the kids and be a wife and the husband who used to spend 45 hours a week at work and come home to a well groomed house and kids now must work 50 plus hours and do more work around the home as well.

Gee it all worked out so well!

If we sleep more, they argue, women will become more powerful.

Yo, Naomi. Is it possible that most women dont crave power?

I remember back in the late sixties when the feminists began their shrill demands to let women into the so-called, virtually all male, world of work... (something I support one-hundred percent, by the way.) Actually most women were already working full-time jobs as housewives. Yet when I started working full-time in my early twenties in the early seventies at a major corporation in my hometown, the workplace I started in already had many older women who had been working for quite some time. And there were quite a few younger women too, many with more seniority than me.

But now the feminist rabble are complaining about fatigue from long hours. Gee, wasn't that a great idea to demand to get into that patriarchial, male world where the men had such "fun" jobs? The feminists made it seem that all men had great jobs working at high levels for humongous pay. I doubt any of these feminists ever wanted to dig ditches or do the many miserably dangerous and dirty jobs men have done for centuries. Again, if any women want to do those jobs, I fully support them. But you won't see the likes of Naomi Wolf and other fem-nazis applying for them.

Men still suffer the most job-related injuries and deaths by a huge margin. Hey, Naomi Wolf, why don't you and your feminist pals try to really enter a "man's" world? Put down that word processor and try to do some gainful employment for a change? Full-time whining can only get you so far.
