Sleep is lacking and Black women are missing out majorly…..Let’s make Mandatory Beauty Sleep a thing!
When compared to whites, black adults are almost twice as likely to describe sleeping too little.
After adjusting for age, insufficient sleep by race and ethnicity shows clear differences with 46.3% of Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders, 45.8% of black people, 40.4% of American Indians/Alaska Natives, 37.5% of Asians, 34.5% of Hispanics, and 33.4% of whites reporting getting less than seven hours of sleep.
Women have a lifetime risk of insomnia that is as much as 40% higher than that of men.
