Are you an insomniac of color, kept conscious by Caucasians? According to experts, it’s perfectly possible.
Mercedes Carnethon, Ph.D., is vice chair of the Northwestern University Department of Preventive Medicine. She’s also a professor of medicine (pulmonary and critical care) and preventative medicine (epidemiology).
From her faculty page:
My research focuses broadly on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, lung health and cognitive aging in the population subgroups defined by race/ethnicity, geography, socioeconomic status, gender and sexual orientation/gender identity.
The professor has pinpointed a problem: Black people are robbed of restfulness by iniquitous Aryans. People of the pale suffer from a sense of supremacy, and that KKK-ish condition is keeping minorities up at night.
CBS Miami recently spotlighted Mercedes in a probe of prejudice and its impact on sleep:
Growing evidence shows the lasting impacts of racism have put certain groups in a position to have a tougher time getting a full night’s sleep. …
“National data indicate that Black adults and other non-white adults have poorer sleep,” said (Dr.) Mercedes Carnethon…
In 2022, Yale University conducted a study on sleep quality. The results revealed that black Americans “had the highest rate of short sleep, compared to their white and non-white counterparts.”
Mercedes hopes to help:
“We want to be able to address disparities in sleep because we know that sleep is associated with some of the leading causes of death, including cardiovascular disease.”
And for those who wonder if darker-shaded aspiring slumberers have a disadvantage due to their DNA, Mercedes puts that theory to rest:
“It’s more likely attributed to social and structural factors that influence our opportunity to get good sleep.”
