探索社会因素如何影响睡眠，特别是与睡眠有关的信念和行为。研究人员对65名黑人/非裔美国人和白人/欧洲裔美国女性的睡眠抱怨、睡眠卫生行为和睡眠信念进行了研究。打鼾和睡眠时间与睡眠需求之间存在差异。各组的睡眠行为在午睡、应对睡眠困难的方法和床上的非睡眠行为方面存在差异。信念也区分了不同的群体，在睡眠动机和关于睡眠对健康和功能很重要的信念方面存在差异。这些发现对于制定包括文化因素在内的有效睡眠教育干预措施具有重要的公共卫生意义。
Explore how social factors influence sleep, especially sleep related beliefs and behaviors. Sleep complaints, sleep hygiene behaviors, and beliefs about sleep were studied in 65 black/African American and white/European American women. Differences were found for snoring and discrepancy between sleep duration and need. Sleep behaviors differed across groups for napping, methods for coping with sleep difficulties and nonsleep behaviors in bed. Beliefs also distinguished groups, with differences in motivation for sleep and beliefs about sleep being important for health and function ing. These findings have important public health implications in terms of developing effective sleep education interventions that include consideration of cultural aspects.
