Financial strain is independently associated with decreased subjective sleep quality and lower sleep efficiency in midlife women, regardless of race.
If you are experiencing financial stress, expect your sleep to suffer. This is not a failure of willpower but a physiological response to stress. Prioritize stress management techniques alongside sleep hygiene, as the economic pressure itself is a direct disruptor of sleep efficiency.

financial strain was associated with decreased sleep quality and lower sleep efficiency. Financial strain-by-race interactions were not statistically significant, suggesting that financial strain has additive effects on sleep, independent of race.
Why this rating
Large cohort (n=368), multi-night in-home polysomnography, adjusted for multiple covariates.
