Ethnic Groups Differ in Sleeping Habits
It is the first poll to examine sleep among these four ethnic groups.
The poll found that more than three-fourths of respondents from each ethnic group agree that poor sleep is associated with health problems (76-83 percent).
The poll also shows that all groups report disturbingly similar experiences missing work or family functions because they were too sleepy (19-24 percent).
mong married people or couples living together, all ethnic groups report being too tired for sex frequently (21- 26 percent of the time).
"As the leading voice of sleep health, we are committed to better understanding people's sleep needs. By exploring ethnic and family sleep practices we have gained new insight into why we sleep the way we do," said Dr. David Cloud, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation.
African-Americans report the busiest bedtime routines.
African-Americans are the most likely to report performing activities in the hour before going to bed every night or almost every night, specifically watching TV (75 percent) and/or praying or doing another religious practice (71 percent).
