Who's Not Sleeping Enough
From CNN.com:
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.
And later in the article.
The findings could help explain why blacks suffer from more health problems than whites, she added.
