睡眠代表了维持生命所必需的一系列生物功能。然而，执行这些功能需要个人参与受社会和环境因素影响的行为。种族/民族和社会经济地位代表了可能对社区睡眠体验产生影响的因素类别。先前的研究表明，种族/族裔少数群体和社会经济弱势群体可能更有可能经历与不良健康结果相关的睡眠模式。睡眠差异可能是导致更大的健康差异出现的一个途径。这篇综述（1）将种族/族裔的概念背景化在生物医学研究中，（2）总结了先前描述跨种族/族裔群体的睡眠获得模式的研究，（3）讨论了种族/族裔可能与睡眠相关的几种途径，（4）介绍了社会经济地位在睡眠模式中的潜在作用，（5）提出了解决这一问题的未来研究方向。
Sleep represents a set of biological functions necessary for the maintenance of life. Performing these functions, though, requires that an individual engage in behaviors, which are affected by social and environmental factors. Race/ethnicity and socioeconomic position represent categories of factors that likely play a role in the experience of sleep in the community. Previous studies have suggested that racial/ethnic minorities and the socioeconomically disadvantaged may be more likely to experience sleep patterns that are associated with adverse health outcomes. It is possible that disparities in sleep represent a pathway by which larger disparities in health emerge. This review (1) contextualizes the concept of race/ethnicity in biomedical research, (2) summarizes previous studies that describe patterns of sleep attainment across race/ethnicity groups, (3) discusses several pathways by which race/ethnicity may be associated with sleep, (4) introduces the potential role of socioeconomic position in the patterning of sleep, and (5) proposes future research directions to address this issue.
