摘要

Experiences of economic stress and impaired sleep are concerning global issues. By integrating resource-based theories (i.e., conservation of resources theory and scarcity theory), we examined how and why economic stress relates to sleep health. Associations between economic stressors, stress before bed behaviors (a component of sleep hygiene), and sleep health indicators were tested. Survey data and actigraphic sleep data were collected across three time-points (baseline, 4 months, and 9 months) from a sample of full-time working adults in the National Guard. Participants who experienced greater financial strain, economic dependency on their job, and job insecurity at baseline reported more frequent stress before bed behaviors at 4 months. Stress before bed behaviors at 4 months were associated with greater insomnia symptoms, dissatisfaction with sleep, and sleep-related impairments at 9 months. Indirect effects revealed that the associations among economic stressors and worse sleep indicators were explained by stress before bed behaviors. This pattern of results was consistent across different analytic approaches. Some additional direct effects were observed between economic stressors and sleep outcomes, though these effects were less robust. The findings are situated in the broader context of sleep health disparities and have meaningful practical implications, primarily for what organizational leaders and policymakers can do to reduce economic stressors and improve the sleep health of the workforce.
