“…Our finding further allies with the reported family habit of 6.2 h of sleep in African American adults . Similarly, our recorded sleep data are fitting the 95% CI of 9.46–9.84 h for sleep period time in our large‐scale survey in the South Side of Chicago . This is in line with the potential overestimation per subjective report and underestimation per polysomnographic recording of actigraphic recording findings .…”

“…Also others have highlighted poor nightly sleep in African American subsamples. Our recent survey similarly suggested problematic sleep in African American youth. Their sleep was characterized by difficulties in initiating and maintaining sleep, which consequently probes the sleep–wake pattern of developing African Americans.…”

“…Being a single mom and social class were unrelated ( χ 2 [8] = 9.2, P = 0.33) with 50% of the sample being a single mom (i.e., never married and living alone with child). This sample is furthermore socio‐demographically similar to our large‐scale sleep survey of youth (n = 221) living on the South Side of Chicago .…”

“…In our ephemeral lifestyles, for instance, the importance of regularity of sleep may have dissipated. Namely, only 14% of the surveyed South Side of Chicago children awaken spontaneously , which is suggestive of a fulfilled need for sleep. Altogether “opportunity sleeping” might affect sleep onset and offset.…”

“…Sleep was recorded in a small sample of African American children. External generalizability of findings remains limited to an African American sample of 3‐ to 9‐year‐olds, which was in socio‐demographic terms comparable to an underserved minority sample yet without overt problems and representative when compared to our large‐scale survey . As strength, the within‐subject design has the benefit that every subject acted as their own “control.” Given that the Actiwatch is “observing” the subjects and it is a commonly applied tool within pediatric sleep research, there are no between‐subject criteria.…”

Sleep, low self‐control, and deviance: Direct and indirect links across immigrant groups and socioeconomic strata

Sleep functioning is concurrently and longitudinally associated with norm-violating behaviors; however, the specific correlates contributing to these links remain unknown. Moreover, despite known mean-level differences in sleep functioning across immigrant and non-immigrant youth as well as socioeconomic strata, it is largely unknown whether links between sleep and norm-violating behaviors vary across groups. The current study tested the direct effects of sleep problems and sleep quantity on measures of deviance, as well as the indirect links via low self-control. It also tested moderating effects by immigrant and SES groups, indicated by parental education, on the associations and mean-level differences in sleep functioning. Results from structural equation models based on cross-sectional data from a national probability sample of Swiss adolescents (N = 6,866) provided evidence of both direct as well as indirect links between sleep and deviance, via low self-control. Despite mean-level differences, the tested links were invariant across immigrant and SES groups, with one modest exception in the magnitude of effect.Sleep functioning has been repeatedly found to predict externalizing behaviors in adolescents, both concurrently and longitudinally (Astill, Van der Heijden, Van IJzendoorn, & Van Someren, 2012). Given the robustness of these links, efforts have focused on understanding how lack of sleep or sleep difficulties translate into higher rates of norm-violations and deviance. To date, several candidate pathways explaining this link have been proposed. First, some proportion of the association between sleep patterns and adolescent adjustment is attributable to genetic factors (Barclay, Eley, Maughan, Rowe, & Gregory, 2011); however, this does not fully account for the sleep-adjustment link Matamura et al., 2014), leaving some variance to be explained. Second, Kouros and El-Sheikh (2015) found that unfavorable sleep patterns predicted externalizing behaviors in adolescents via daily mood disruptions. Third, several physiological factors such as vagal tone (El-Sheikh, Erath, & Keller, 2007) and the behavioral activation system (Hasler, Allen, Sbarra, Bootzin, & Bernert, 2010) have been found to mediate the sleep functioning-adjustment link. Lastly, as sleep functioning has been shown to predict executive functioning (Astill et al., 2012), some research has provided evidence that self-control or self-regulation mediates the link between sleep functioning and measures of norm-violating or externalizing behaviors (Meldrum, Barnes, & Hay, 2015;Peach & Gaultney, 2013).The present study tested low self-control as mediator in the link between sleep functioning, operationalized as sleep problems and sleep quantity, and deviance in a large, cross-sectional, national probability sample of Swiss adolescents. Additionally, because sleep functioning has been found to be associated with minority and socioeconomic status (SES; Grandner, Williams, Knutson, Roberts, & Jean-Louis, 2016), the study tested whether these links vari...
