Sleep is essential for health and well-being, but many Americans do not get of it. This problem may start as early as childhood, especially for racial and ethnic minorities, according to a study led by Julio Fernandez-Mendoza, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral health at Penn State Health. The study followed 700 children, ages 5 to 12, for seven years and found that Black children were seven times less likely than white children to develop good sleep habits, socioeconomic status. The researchers this disparity to racism, stress and discrimination, which may affect children’s ability to fall and stay asleep. They also found that poor sleep in childhood persisted into adolescence and adulthood, increasing the risk of chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. The findings suggest that sleep disparities are not only a consequence but also a of social and health inequities. The researchers called for more awareness and intervention to promote sleep health among minority children and families, as well as policies to address the structural of poor sleep.
