“…All 5 of the studies that measured bedtime found at least 1 disparity. 22,44,45,49,54 Minorities had later bedtimes than Whites in 4 studies, 22,44,49,54 and the fifth found that, after completing a program that promoted physical activity, Latina and Black girls (10–14 years) had comparable sleep duration, sleep onset times, and wake times. 45 No studies found disparities in bedtime between minorities.…”

Racial/ethnic sleep disparities in US school-aged children and adolescents: a review of the literature

et al. 2018

Sleep is essential for optimal health, well-being, and cognitive functioning, and yet nationwide, youth are not obtaining consistent, adequate, or high-quality sleep. In fact, more than two-thirds of US adolescents are sleeping less than 8 hours nightly on school nights. Racial and ethnic minority children and adolescents are at an increased risk of having shorter sleep duration and poorer sleep quality than their white peers. In this review, we critically examined and compared results from 23 studies that have investigated racial/ethnic sleep disparities in American school-aged children and adolescents ages 6-19 years. We found that White youth generally had more sufficient sleep than minority youth, Hispanics had more than Blacks, and there was inconclusive evidence for Asians and other minorities. Recommendations for researchers include the following: (1) explore underlying causes of the disparities of these subpopulations, with a particular interest in identifying modifiable causes; (2) examine factors that may be impacted by racial/ethnic sleep disparities; (3) use a multidimensional approach to measuring sleep disparities; and (4) examine how beliefs about sleep are patterned by race/ethnicity. Understanding sleep disparities can inform interventions, policies, and educational programs to minimize sleep disparities and their impact on health, psychological, and educational outcomes.

“…In review.]. A study of urban minority girls showed that only about half of participants slept for the recommended 9 h per night during summer [58]. Additional research objectively measuring and comparing sleep in the school year and summer is critical for understanding its role in summer weight gain.…”

The State of the Summer: a Review of Child Summer Weight Gain and Efforts to Prevent It

et al. 2018

Summer weight gain remains a concern for elementary-age youth. Few studies have examined its determinants, but unfavorable summertime shifts in diet, physical activity, sedentary time, screen media use, and sleep have been reported. Increased structure is thought to protect against summer weight gain. Interventions to support physical activity and nutrition during the summer show promise, though large-scale impact on weight outcomes remains to be seen. Supporting health behaviors during the summer remains a priority for obesity prevention researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Strategies to expand access to structured programs and reach beyond such programs to improve behaviors at home are of particular importance.

What is known about the topic a. Sleep assessment is progressively more incorporated in health research. b. Mounting evidence suggests that sleep is a modifiable risk factor in relation to childhood obesity. c. Body mass index has been the most prominent player in studies examining the relationship between sleeps and weight problems. What this paper adds a. This study is the first to measure sleep (daytime and nighttime) objectively and longitudinally in an underserved sample of young children. b. Findings highlight that healthcare professionals should look beyond sleep duration and body mass index across childhood. c. Health care professionals, and society, should promote the integrity of sleep in childhood.
