Adherence

Minority status and lower socioeconomic position are associated with significantly shorter self-reported sleep durations, specifically very short (<5 hours) and short (5-6 hours) sleep, compared to normative sleep (7-8 hours).

If you belong to a minority group or have lower income, you are statistically more likely to get very short sleep. This is not necessarily a personal failure but a reflection of socioeconomic pressures. Prioritizing sleep health requires addressing these external stressors, such as food security and financial stability, alongside sleep hygiene.
