Intergenerational Coresidence With Children and Grandchildren and Maternal Sleep Duration at Midlife
Sleep is a critical health indicator across the life course and a contributor to other health outcomes later in life. Thus, it is important to identify whose sleep is most vulnerable-especially in midlife when sleep trajectories are the groundwork for later-life well-being. We demonstrate the importance of coresidential status with adult and minor children and grandchildren on the sleep of mothers in midlife, drawing specific attention to the differences across racial/ethnic groups.
