Russell Brand won’t marry Katy Perry until she learns how to cook.The Get Him to the Greek star is delighted that his singer fiancee can match his high sex drive, but thinks she is currently lacking too much in the culinary department to be the perfect wife.He said: “Katy is sexy, which is good because if I don’t have an orgasm every 15 or 16 minutes, I can become very difficult. But, if she’s going to marry me, she’s going to learn how to cook.”The 34-year-old funnyman also claimed Katy should be delighted by his previous womanising ways as the fact he has now chosen monogamy proves how much he loves her.He told Parade.com: “I said, ‘Katy, you need to know, I’m not virgin. In fact, if you’re counting, the list of my sexual escapades is mind-boggling. But these women will be celebrated for ever more. And they will live on in my imagination.’”Then, I said, ‘Katy, look at my past as an audition process. I went through all of those girls to get to you. And you don’t even have to thank me.

This is because women’s brains are wired differently from men’s and are more complex, so their sleep need is slightly greater,†said Professor Jim Horne, director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University in UK.Pointing out that one of the major functions of sleep is to allow the brain to recover and repair itself, Horne said, “During deep sleep, the cortex — part of the brain responsible for thought memory, language and so on — disengages from the senses and goes into recovery mode. The more a person uses his brain during the day, the more sleep he needs at night to recover, Horne said adding, “Women tend to multi-task — they do lots at once and are flexible — and so they use more of their actual
