“It’s uncomfortable for them to sleep because they are thinking back over mistreatment, thinking back over mal­treat­ment, think­ing back over bias they experienced,

Other ethnicities have sleep disorders too:

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Sleep Disturbances: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

Racial/ethnic differences in the associations between obesity measures and severity of sleep-disordered breathing: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

They didn’t even consider whether there could be genetic differences between the races.

[Dr. Ursus]

No weed and malt after 9:00 will cure that problem!

[Cowboy Bob]

If Black people would stay home at night and get a good night sleep, rather than going out and stealing and robbing people, there wouldn’t be a problem.

[Lazamataz]

Well, if absolutely every effing thing is effing racist, then effing cool. I am a muther-effing racist muther-effer, and effing happy about it.

SO EFF OFF.

[punknpuss]

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

[PIF]

Good ‘ol Ben, aka Sleepy ...

[Lazamataz]

University of Maryland, Baltimore psychologist Danielle L. Beatty Moody suggested that the sleep problems black people experience at night can be attributed to all the racism they encounter during the day.

Figgers.

[I want the USA back]

Did they control for drugs, alcohol, boredom from not working, self-doubt from affirmative action and not knowing who their daddy is?

I love the comments from other FR’ers:
weed and malt after 9 PM
genetic differences
staying home at night and geting a good night sleep, rather than going out and stealing and robbing people
overweight

[JohnnyP]

No kidding? Who would have thunk it.

[[What a load of psychobabble. Sleep apnea also affects overweight people more than those who are not. Did the study cross-screen for overweight subjects in addition to race?]]

Did they also screen for prior or current drug use/abuse- or financial status (the poor tend not to sleep as well)- or lifestyle activities (those who excersize m ore tend to sleep better) Etc Etc Etc-

The damnable thing about ‘studies’ is that you can control them to say whatever you want by hiding certain facts about the studies-

[Kipp]

They didn’t even consider whether there could be genetic differences between the races. That's where I thought the study was going when I first read the headline. It could be that it was an advantage in the northern hemisphere for people who were able to sleep through those long, cold winter nights where winter food was scarce - the more they slept, the fewer calories were required. People in warmer regions with lots of food - and predators - probably were more likely to survive if they slept lightly.

[Bob434]

[[So, did they check negros in Africa that go through the day without seeing a caucasioan for correlation of their BS theory?]]

Or did they study black folks in ALL black communities who encounter NIO racism at all? Did they isolate those experiencing racism so that they were not subjected to any racism for aq year or so to find out if there was an improvement in sleep?

Loads of valid questions about this bogus study!

[FreedomNotSafety]

She knows what sleep deprived black people are thinking? She must have ESP. I am going all racist here and say I bet Mexicans have no issues getting plenty of sleep. I wonder what they are thinking? I wonder what Asians are thinking when they cannot sleep? I am a sleep deprived white person, does she know what I am thinking?

Sometimes my wife knows exactly what I am thinking when I am awake at 2:00am. Other times she just pretends she doesn’t know.

[JoeFromSidney]

My wife and I always like getting our “around town chores” such as filling up gas, grocery store, Sams/Costco shopping done from 0900-1100 because the feral criminal crackhead-type elements here in Little Rock aren’t even awake and around until noon.

My wife says she likes to get her grocery shopping done before 9 because that's before all the little old ladies clog up the aisles.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

University of Maryland, Baltimore psychologist Danielle L. Beatty Moody suggested that the sleep problems black people experience at night can be attributed to all the racism they encounter hard drugs they consume during the day.

I'll probably get pilloried for that...
If the shoe fits, wear it.

Sleep apnea also affects black people at a higher rate. According to one study, 12.8 percent of black participants suffered from sleep apnea compared to 7.4 percent of white people.

Ummmm, sleep apnea is strongly correlated with being overweight... and blacks tend to be overweight more than whites. Possibly because they eat more... which I'm sure is somehow the fault of white people...

[Safetgiver]

It’s uncomfortable for them to sleep because they are thinking back over mistreatment, thinking back over mal­treat­ment, think­ing back over bias they experienced,....Maybe trying to remember if they left any evidence or got recorded?

[MrB]

After while, when you understand that you “can’t win” with some people,

all you have left is intentionally provoking them...

[kaboom]

Working hard during the day helps people sleep.

Read into it what you will.
