CNN.com - Rich get more sleep; blacks and men get less - Jun 30, 2006: "NEW YORK (Reuters) -- In a study of sleep characteristics in 669 adults in Chicago who were compared by sex and race, investigators found that blacks got less sleep than whites, while men got less sleep than women.
Furthermore, the wealthier you are, the more sleep you're likely to get, Dr. Diane S. Lauderdale of the University of Chicago and her colleagues found.
'There was an expectation that people with very demanding jobs in terms of high status, high income, would be getting less sleep, and that was not true,' Lauderdale told Reuters Health in an interview. The findings could help explain why blacks suffer from more health problems than whites, she added."
