…doesn’t do a thing for white people, either (what a stupid article)
"Is Too Little Sleep Hurting Blacks?"
No, too little employment.
off
We need to turn of that idiotbox too. [at least, watch less]

Here we go again with the…. "studies show that blacks may be disproportionately study"….…who’s doing these studies?
As for Rick Ross and the seizures...Yes, the seizures happen when you’re sleep deprived...but that’s just one symptom of the seizures, not the origin or the cause. Lack of sleep is not the main cause of seizures, is what I’m trying to say.
and meth, 40 ounces, and X.
FANNED…DAYUM!
These racists commenters are probably the same ones who expect black people to support them in their gay rights propaganda. Won’t do it…even if some of the ‘gays’ are people of color…lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
I am a black woman, but having lived most of my life in environments that were roughly 98.5% white, I can honestly say, from my own observations, that poorer people, regardless of race, must live and function under conditions that are not conducive to the proper amount of sleep and this includes children. My poor white grade school classmates would frequently nod off in class, for which they were often unfairly scolded and chastised. I attributed their drowsiness to their awful living conditions and poor diet.
Flag Atilla. Simple and Plain
I get what you’re saying and wish that it was always true. Just when my American patriotic juices start flowing, something or someone will always remind me that I’m not an "American" on a equal par with them, even though there have been no "Africans" in my family since at least the eighteenth century. If you are intelligent, well-educated, articulate, and black, you can’t be a "real" American–-I mean, look at the attitude of "birthers" toward President Obama who insist, despite all evidence to the contrary, that he is not a ‘real" American.
This article is crazy. I work in a pharmacy and as far as sleep aids go 9 out of 10 patients coming to purchase ambien, temazepam, or lunesta are white people who are already taking xanax or adderall.
So another area where American Africans are harder hit than everyone else. If they cperform better on less sleep than everyone else what is the problem/
Unless you’re AfricanAmerican.
No, but you are.
what? sleep is racist now? aaaghhh!!!!
Ignorance in the good old USA continues to be at an all time high! Are we really the dumbest people in the world or do we just like to pretend?
Remember the old joke headline? "Asteroid Hits Earth! Women and Minorities Hardest Hit"!
It’s a joke folks put the lawyers back in your closet….
Atilla, you might read the following that are Huffington Posts rules for comments here- …. this community does not tolerate direct or indirect attacks, name-calling or insults,
nor does it tolerate intentional attempts to derail, hijack, troll or bait others into an emotional
response. These types of comments will be removed from the community where warranted. On that note, I will not express my opinion of your post.
a good point .. if you are born in America .. you are American .. not African
some people…
You can read these studies to be less "ethnically" related, than that of economic class. Poor people’s lives suck, OK? This is yet another way in which they suck. And there are more poor "ethnic" people than white ones. There. The dots are now connected for you.
Do the tips to prevent insomnia also pertain to White folks as well? Or do we have our own set of tips? I mean since this is clearly a rasicts study, are there tips for White People as well?? Oops, I’n not white, I’m uumm, an Irish American, no, I think I am an English American,...no…don’t think so, maybe I am an American American..…no, thats not good, we all have to have lables now..hmmm, I don’t know what I am…dammit, I wonder if Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton knows what I am, they seem to like to talk about hatred toward anyone other their selves. Hmm, ok, I’ll just be me I guess. Oh wait, I can’t find my weiner, yup, I’m all White Boy!
"They need less sleep to perform at their best" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
lmao
Give me a break…now they are "special" in yet another way?
wow.. as if. Say that when racism’s dead.
JEEZUZZ!! Now we’re supposed to attach race to a (apparently voluntary) lack of sleep disorder???
A hard days work helps me sleep well
