Sleeping and Women

It's a scientific fact that Chels needs more sleep than I do. I'm curious if this is gender specific or not... Do girls need more sleep than men?

Maybe it's Chels specific. Every night she always falls asleep right away, while I lay awake for another 30 minutes. In the mornings I wake up with her 6am (some mornings she sets it at 5am) cell phone alarm, nudge her to turn it off but than only get up with my 7am alarm. I then make coffee, take a shower and then try to actually wake her up. By this time she usually says something like, "Oh my god I should have been [there] by now!"

Her excuse, or so she tells me, for not being able to get up in the morning, is "I can't help it, your bed is so comffy." Although I agree that my fouton on the floor is the balls, it gets me every time that someone who may have never slept on the floor like this in her life would think so. I have to admit I am flattered every time she says it. There's something rewarding about getting a good nights sleep on something as simple as a fouton mattress laid flat on the floor.
