My guess would also be that the women are less tired from fasting, and more tired from cooking and entertaining late. Speaking of attendance issues, I was wondering if there was any research out there that showed why students continued to come to programs or not? My supervisor asked me about this. I am aware of a little bit of research in this area in Intensive Programs at the college level, but I haven't seen any such information regarding adult ed programs.
