When the guys are not sleeping enough, they think that every woman is hot for them

We've all been there: you are with your girls, taking advantage of the night, when some memory to guy come up to you and just won't let you alone FFS.

Most of the time, we are quick to write off the men who do not take for a response as total jerks. Because, duh, it is what they are. However, the researchers believe they have discovered a potential cause of the persistence of some guy.

They could just be really freaking tired.

In the study, researchers from Hendrix College tested the effect of lack of sleep on men and women to see how it affected their breeding patterns. The results showed that when they were well rested, men and women rated the sexual intent of women as lower than that of men. However, after a night of not getting enough place, guys rated female sexual intent and interest as higher, the until they believed that women had a desire for the higher levels than men.

Clearly, this could cause problems in the real world (i.e. your neighborhood bar.)

In light of these findings, researchers concluded that not getting enough sleep could certainly lead men to take some pretty bad decisions they do in general if they were well rested. "Bad decision... may lead to problems such as sexual harassment, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and relationship conflicts which are all factors that have serious medical, educational and economic consequences for both the individual and society," said the study leader Jennifer Peszka, Ph.d., Associate Professor of psychology.

So, a Word to the wise for guys: make sure that sleep you a little before macking on us at the club. Your reputation thanks will.
