Researchers of a study published in Sleep Health examined the association of neighborhood characteristics with sleep duration and daytime sleepiness.
The mean hours of sleep duration is 6.7 ± 1.2, and the mean daytime sleepiness is 0.8 ± 0.9. Neighborhood characteristics were not associated with sleep duration. Higher perceived neighborhood safety was associated with an 18.4% lower odds of daytime sleepiness in the unadjusted model (odds ratio, 0.82 [95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.96]).
