A CNN story? Need I say more!

“Among those are housing conditions, noise pollution, light pollution, air pollution, stress from different sources – including perceived racial discrimination – and jobs or working conditions,” he said, adding that the convergence of all those factors may explain why getting the recommended amount of sleep “may be less common among Black adults than among White adults.” What does any of this have to do with the time change?
Personally, I'd prefer that we eliminate DST and stick with standard time. I want the sun to be highest in the sky at noon all year long.
Moving to a permanent Daylight Savings Time is a de facto moving of the demarcation of time away from Greenwich, England.

I get so sick of this crap. Sleep apnea is often associated with obesity, so I would be very surprised if Asians had a higher incidence of it than whites, who are more likely to be obese. If for some reason they do, it is not because some white evil genius somehow determined that DST would give some advantage to whites.

Since most blacks live in urban areas I can sort of believe this. It might be more relevant to study differences in sleep comparing urban, suburban and rural settings.

hair discrimination may contribute to some Black women using potentially harmful chemical hair products because policies might not allow specific hairstyles in school or the workplace.BS. They use chemicals to straighten because they hate their kinky hair. I would too.

Why can’t they change the categories? Study people who live in noisy, light-polluted, stressful situations vs people who don’t?

And I thought sleep disorders were caused by global warming.

I always associated the difficulty in getting to sleep with a guilty conscience.
