title: Sleep Duration, Quality of Sleep, and Use of Sleep Medication, by Sex and Family Type, 2013-2014.
abstract: Data from the National Health Interview Survey, 2013-2014. Single parents, especially women, were more likely than adults in other types of families to have short sleep duration, frequently have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and frequently wake up feeling not well-rested. Within family types, women were more likely than men to frequently have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and to frequently wake up feeling not well-rested. Overall, adults in two-parent families were less likely than adults in other types of families to have taken sleep medication four times or more in the past week.
