Washington (US): Growing up in an unsafe neighbourhood was associated with poorer sleep in adulthood, suggests the findings of a recent study on Black women.
A total of 1,611 Black women in Detroit, Michigan, who enrolled in the Study of Environment, Lifestyle and Fibroids reported their perceived childhood neighbourhood safety at ages 5, 10 and 15 years. Participants also reported their sleep duration, quality, and insomnia symptoms.
