I am left handed, which means that most of my years were spent trying to adapt to right handed scissors, playing school sports with right handed gloves, smearing ink when writing, and thumbing through magazines in a complete opposite way. Statistically Left-Handed people make up only 10% of the worlds population which makes us as unique as can be. My whole life I was told how Left-Handers are considered to be artistically inclined, so finally I took it upon myself to do some research. Here are some really cool facts I came across. 

  • Lefties may have more sleep problems. (As many as 94%)
  • Lefties may be more likely to experience serious mental health disorders
  • Lefties brains function differently than right handed people
  • Research suggests left handed people are smarter
  • Research suggests lefties have better memory
  • Lefties have a 71% chance more of satisfying their partner in bed
  • There are more left-handed men than women in the world.
  • Multitasking comes naturally to people who are left handed.
  • Left handed people need to cut their nails frequently, as their nails on the left hand grow faster.
