  • Sleep disturbance and suicide risk among sexual and gender minority people

    2022, Neurobiology of Stress
    Citation Excerpt :

    This data is particularly important to include in the electronic health record as these data are often used in epidemiological studies examining health disparities. Additionally, research is needed regarding sexual orientation and gender identity across the lifespan to examine potential cohort differences, particularly given that age effects have been observed for SGM identity (Jones, 2022), sleep (Grandner, 2012), and rates of suicide (Ivey-Stephenson et al., 2017). The present narrative review examined research related to sleep disturbance and STBs among SGM populations, although research in this area is scarce.

  • Current Activities Centered on Healthy Living and Recommendations for the Future: A Position Statement from the HL-PIVOT Network

    2021, Current Problems in Cardiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Grandner's sleep review in 2012 indicated that insufficient sleep is common at the population level.83 This sleep insufficiency has been associated with many adverse health outcomes across the lifespan including obesity, cardiovascular disease (eg, hypertension, heart disease, stroke), metabolic disorders (eg, diabetes), and mortality.83 An extensive review by Matricciani et al83 suggests that children may sleep less today than previous generations.

  • Air pollution exposure and adverse sleep health across the life course: A systematic review

    2020, Environmental Pollution
    Citation Excerpt :

    Overall, the review demonstrated a general positive relationship between air pollution exposure and sleep disturbances in children, adolescents, and adults. Both exposure to air pollution (Sánchez et al., 2019) and sleep outcomes (Grandner, 2012) have been shown to vary with developmental stage due to the increased vulnerability of children and the elderly to adverse environmental and health effects. Thus, the research included in this present review is discussed by life stage to highlight the differences in the association between pollutant exposure and sleep outcomes across the life course.

  • New evidence on sleep ontogeny in adults

    2019, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
  • Disentangling racial/ethnic and socioeconomic differences in self-reported sleep measures: The Boston Area Community Health Survey

    2015, Sleep Health
    Citation Excerpt :

    We also did not have information on family structure and the number of children in the household, which are 2 potential confounders of the race/ethnicity and sleep association. We are unable to distinguish between subjects with short sleep who require less sleep and those with insufficient sleep, an important distinction when looking at sleep as a marker of overall health.54 However, 64% of short sleepers in this sample also reported restless sleep, suggesting a majority of subjects with restricted sleep have insufficient sleep.

  • The impact of sleep duration on self-rated health

    2014, Sleep Science
    Citation Excerpt :

    As one of the major problems in our society, shortened sleep, or insufficient sleep, is a public health concern. Currently, short and long sleepers exhibit increased mortality rates, independent of sleep duration [10,11]. Studies on sleep have traditionally examined the effects of perceived sleep duration and its impact on health.
