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.

"have joined forces to identify women’s sleep deprivation as “the next feminist issue”"

You have to LEARN to be that stupid.

I can see it now. Future ‘feminist’ issues to be eating, breathing and taking dumps.

Agree 100%.

I have often wondered why so many people try to deny their need for sleep. I worked for a while with someone I enjoyed working with but he kept saying that six hours of sleep was plenty enough for anybody and he could get by on four. “Yeah”, I told him, “but I have never seen you come to work (even though he was always fifteen minutes or more early) when you didn’t look tired.”

I tried it years ago. It don’t work.

I just reitred from a job where we worked 12 hours a day, rotating shifts. We got an average of 4 hours of sleep a night (or day) due to the rotation and I thought I was gonna die! Work quality did suffer as a result.

Thomas Edison was known to get only four hours of sleep a night. This may be where the “4 hours” myth came from. It was later revealed that Edison also took several naps during the day at his business.
