Abstract
Decrements in sleep health, including insufficient sleep duration, irregular
timing of sleep, poor sleep quality, and sleep/circadian disorders are wide-spread in
modern society and are associated with an array of disease risks and outcomes, including
those contributing to health disparities (e.g. cardiovascular disease, obesity and
diabetes, psychiatric illness and cancer). Recent findings have uncovered racial/ethnic
and socioeconomic position differences in sleep health, however the contribution of sleep
deficiency to health disparities remains largely unexplored, and understanding the
underlying causes of disparities in sleep health is only beginning to emerge. In 2011, the
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute convened a workshop, bringing together sleep and
health disparities investigators, to identify research gaps and opportunities to advance
sleep and health disparities science. This article provides a brief background and
rationale for the workshop, and disseminates the research recommendations and priorities
resulting from the working group discussions.
