CSDE Trainee Hana Brown (Sociology) and CSDE Affiliate Patricia Louie (Sociology) recently published an article in Sleep Health that analyzed the relationship between skin color and on self-reported sleep duration. Brown and Louie used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a nationally representative sample of adults residing in the US in 2016-2018. Individuals with dark and to a lesser extent medium skin are at higher odds of short sleep (≤6 hours) than those with light skin. Individuals with medium and dark skin are also at higher odds of long sleep  (≥9 hours) than those with light skin. However, evidential support for racial/ethnic moderation of skin tone effects was weak.
