Description
Grandparents who raise their grandchildren full-time sleep worse than their peers, and where they live may deepen the gap. Melanie Stearns and co-authors compare such grandparents across rural, suburban, and city settings. About one hundred eighty grandparents raising a grandchild over seventeen filled in a standard sleep quality questionnaire.
City grandparents came off worst. They used more sleep medication than both other groups and reported more disturbed nights and worse overall sleep than rural grandparents. Suburban grandparents sat in between on most measures. The type of community did not change how strongly other factors acted; it simply shifted the averages. The authors suggest that sleep programs for city grandparents should tackle noise, safety worries, and money stress, not just bedtime habits.
