Women may now have an excuse to be grumpy after waking up.
A new study out of Duke University shows women are more angry and hostile than men in the morning.
It turns out, there's a good reason behind this finding.
Women's bodies need about 20 more minutes of sleep than men's bodies.
When women don't get enough rest, their risk of heart disease, stroke and depression increases.
Researcher's found that men's health is not affected in the same way.
