They say there are only two things you should ever do in bed – sleep and make love.

But for many of us, it seems the former wins out every time.

A survey of bedroom habits suggests that 85 per cent of women would chose a good night's sleep over having an orgasm.

For men, perhaps unsurprisingly, the figure is much lower, with 52 per cent favouring a decent kip over a satisfying sex life.

The gender divide has emerged in a study of 1,800 people by Good Housekeeping magazine.

The difference could be because women's sleep quality seems to be worse than men's, with 61 per cent of women saying that it varies, compared to 53 per cent of men. But 79 per cent of all respondents admitted they struggled with sleep in general and said they were getting an average of one to two hours less sleep a night than they would want.
