  • Low socioeconomic position is associated with chronic sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment.
  • Socioeconomic status may increase the risk of sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea.
  • Recognition and treatment of sleep disorders vary within the US health care system based on socioeconomic status.
