Race and current socioeconomic status (SES) are associated with sleep. Parental education, a commonly studied component of childhood SES, is predictive of adult health outcomes; yet, its impact on adult sleep remains unclear. In this study, the sleep of 128 Black and White adults was investigated. Participants with lower childhood SES (assessed via parental education) spent more time in Stage 2 sleep and less time in slow-wave sleep (SWS) than those with higher childhood SES. In addition, women from low childhood SES backgrounds took longer to fall asleep than women from high SES backgrounds. Black participants spent less time in SWS than their White counterparts, and an Age × Race interaction was detected in the prediction of subjective sleep quality. Results were not mediated via current SES or health practices.
种族和当前的社会经济地位(SES)与睡眠有关。父母的教育程度是儿童 SES 的一个常见组成部分,它可以预测成年人的健康结果;然而,其对成年人睡眠的影响尚不清楚。在这项研究中,调查了 128 名黑人和白人成年人的睡眠情况。与 SES 较高的参与者相比,SES 较低的参与者(通过父母教育评估)在 2 期睡眠中花费的时间更多,在慢波睡眠(SWS)中花费的时间更少。此外,SES 较低的女性比 SES 较高的女性入睡所需的时间更长。黑参与者在 SWS 中花费的时间少于他们的白人同龄人,并且在主观睡眠质量的预测中检测到年龄与种族的交互作用。结果不受当前 SES 或健康习惯的影响。
