Journal Article
Perceived Discrimination and Adolescent Sleep in a Community Sample
2018
Overview
Sleep is a key restorative process, and poor sleep is linked to disease and
mortality risk. The adolescent population requires more sleep on average than
adults but are most likely to be sleep deprived. Adolescence is a time of rapid
social upheaval and sensitivity to social stressors including discrimination.
This study uses two weeks of daily e-diary measures documenting discrimination
exposure and concurrent objective sleep indicators measured using actigraphy. We
assess associations between daily discrimination and contemporaneous sleep with
a diverse sample of adolescents. This novel study shows youth with higher
average discrimination reports have worse average sleep relative to their
counterparts. Interestingly, youth reporting daily discrimination have better
sleep the day of the report than youth who do not.
