New research indicates that beds and male testosterone levels may have something more in common than sex. A researcher at the University of Montreal Department of Psychology has discovered a link between testosterone levels in men and their quality of sleep.
It’s long been known that testosterone levels begin to drop by one or two percent a year beginning at approximately age 30. But by age 40, men’s quality of sleep also begins to diminish.

Using a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine (fMRI), researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have shown that men and women differ in response to stressful situations: Men experience increased blood flow to the left orbitofrontal cortex, suggesting activation of the “fight or flight” response; in women there is increased activation of the limbic system, which is associated with emotional responses.

My father kicked me out of his will.
Three times!
On the same day!
