I am as "priveleged" as it gets. I ain't a billionaire, but I still BARELY crack "upper class" (at least by the standard measure of gross income as compared to the incomes of a given locality). All of the other "privilege" classes aren't even a question.
And let me tell you, I sleep like crap. Irregular sleep cycle, difficulty sleeping through the night, and at least two nights a week (usually closer to 4 or 5), I fail to get "enough" sleep.
Sleep hygiene ain't about race, color, income, sex, or any of that other stuff. As a matter of fact, I would argue that most of those with lower income jobs also have lower stress jobs - and ones that they are much less likely to be woken in the middle of the night as part of their duties. Which means lower income (which this article uses interchangeably with people of color) may actually have a BETTER shot at good sleep hygiene.
That is not to say that lower incomes do not come with their own stress, and lower stress jobs automatically means lower overall stress. Or that lower income automatically means better sleep. But a better CHANCE at it..., maybe.
