The sociology of sleep

Sleep occurs in a social context and is socially, culturally, and historically variable. It is influenced by numerous social factors across the life course, as well as by transitions, such as marriage or cohabitation, parenthood, and widowhood. Gender impacts on sleep, and on the nature of power in negotiations about sleep. Sleep is a complex, if not contradictory, case of medicalization and is also a thoroughly moralized matter within contemporary societies. Understanding sleep requires the use of qualitative as well as quantitative methodologies, and a relational or dyadic focus on couples’ sleep is also called for. Sociology highlights arenas for public health intervention.
