There was no difference between those men sleeping less than five hours and those sleeping seven hours or more.

A study at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, reveals that women’s health is much more at risk from sleep deprivation than men’s, according to a study in the October issue of Hypertension.

Researchers at Warwick Medical School at the University of Warwick found that women who slept five or fewer hours per night were at a increased risk for hypertension when compared to men who slept five or fewer hours.
