Who wakes up crankier – men or women?

Good morning? 

Generally speaking, women are crankier when they wake up in the morning than men are. According to a survey conducted by The Sleep Council, women report more bad moods in the morning than men. The women also tend to stay in a bad mood for longer than the guys. 24% of the men in the study say they NEVER wake up grumpy, while only 14% of women say they have good mornings.

The women who do admit to waking up grumpy say that bad mood can last for 2 to 4 hours. Men who wake up cranky tend to shake it off much faster.
