The Sleep of African Americans: A Comparative Review
Abstract
Researchers have not thoroughly assessed the sleep of African Americans (AAs) despite the recent increased attention to ethnic research. This article reviews the sleep and epidemiological literatures to assess AA sleep. Although the limited data were sometimes inconsistent, they suggest that AAs sleep worse than Caucasian Americans. AAs take longer to fall asleep, report poorer sleep quality, have more light and less deep sleep, and nap more often and longer. AAs have a higher prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing and exhibit more risk factors for poor sleep. These differences are concentrated in young- and middle-age adults. There are no sleep disorders treatment data for AAs. These data support further research into ethnic differences in both normal and disturbed sleep.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
