Abstract

Objectives

In this study, we explore the relationship between political party affiliation and sleep quality since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

We analyze online survey data collected for a sample of adult residents of Arizona in February and March 2023 (N = 922). We fit ordered-logistic regression models to examine how party affiliation and changes to one’s personal life due to the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with the self-reported frequency of sleep difficulty.

Results

Compared to Republicans, Democrats and Independents report significantly worse sleep quality, net of the influence of sociodemographic controls. Additionally, having experienced major changes to one’s personal life due to the COVID-19 pandemic is significantly associated with more frequent trouble sleeping for Democrats and Independents, but not for Republicans.

Conclusions

We document a partisan divide in sleeping patterns among adults in a swing state and highlight an underappreciated factor contributing to sleep health amidst heightened political polarization.

不同政党的睡眠质量是否不同？亚利桑那州成年人的调查结果。

研究目的本研究探讨了自 COVID-19 大流行以来政党归属与睡眠质量之间的关系：我们分析了 2023 年 2 月和 3 月收集的亚利桑那州成年居民在线调查数据（N = 922）。我们拟合了有序逻辑回归模型，以研究党派归属和COVID-19大流行病对个人生活造成的改变与自我报告的睡眠困难频率之间的关系：结果：与共和党人相比，民主党人和独立人士的睡眠质量明显较差，这还不包括社会人口学控制因素的影响。此外，COVID-19 大流行病对个人生活造成的重大改变与民主党人和独立人士更频繁地出现睡眠困难有显著关系，但与共和党人无关：我们记录了一个摇摆州成年人睡眠模式中的党派分歧，并强调了在政治两极分化加剧的情况下一个未被充分重视的睡眠健康因素。
