Description
Rahul Malhotra, Ha-Linh Quach, and Jeremy Lim-Soh published this study in 2024. It looks at sleep among family caregivers of older adults in Singapore. Data covered 167 caregivers and 135 non-caregivers. Sleep quality was scored with a standard index, where higher marks mean worse sleep. The team also measured psychological resilience, the ability to bounce back from strain.
Caregivers slept worse on average, and nearly half had poor sleep, against about a quarter of non-caregivers. But the gap shrank as resilience rose. Among caregivers, better sleep went with more schooling, fewer chronic conditions, and fewer limits in daily function. Higher resilience also helped on its own. The authors point to resilience as a trait programs could strengthen to ease the sleep cost of caregiving.
