Description
Maki Karakida and Jeffrey Stokes examine how work, race, birthplace, and sleep fit together in older Americans, in this 2024 study. Their data come from the Health and Retirement Study and cover 31,868 adults aged fifty and over, sampled between 2014 and 2020. The pair ask whether working or retired status links to poor sleep in the same way for every group.
Overall, older workers reported more sleep trouble than retirees. The picture changed once race, ethnicity, and birthplace entered the model together. Black adults, both born in the United States and abroad, faced a higher risk of insomnia than white adults born in the country. Some groups of immigrant workers also reported more sleep difficulty than that same reference group. The authors conclude that sleep gaps in later life cannot be read from work status alone; background and birthplace shape the link.
