Facts about women

Men were the first to wear high heels around the 1600s. Women began wearing them to look more masculine.

"They were adopted by the European aristocracy of the 1600s as a signal of status. The logic was: only someone who didn’t have to work could possibly go around in such impractical footwear."

Women experience significantly more nightmares than men and have more emotional dreams, research suggests.

"In a study of 170 volunteers asked to record their most recent dream, 19% of men reported a nightmare compared with 30% of women."

"Other research has shown women tend to have more disturbed sleep than men."
