Socioecological disparities in sleep status are increasingly highlighted. However, broader social and cultural factors, including beliefs and practicalities of sleep, are seldom considered. This is particularly important for bicultural countries such as Aotearoa New Zealand, where mainstream discourses and health promotion have been colonised. Media provides a platform for shaping beliefs and attitudes concerning sleep. Media messaging contributes to definitions of ‘normal sleep’ and sensationalised messages around sleep(lessness) and disease—seldom accounting for nuanced differences across the lifespan or Indigenous knowledge and practises concerning sleep and wellbeing. How messages concerning sleep are delivered, interpreted, and resisted varies and warrants exploring—particularly among populations predisposed to sleep disturbances. This paper provides a narrative review of the social and cultural factors influencing sleep and highlights the paucity of research in this space. Responding to these gaps, a current research agenda is presented concerning sleep-related discourses and practises in Aotearoa New Zealand.

On one hand, certain policymakers fixate on economic growth measured by GDP as the solution to societal challenges (putting all their eggs in one basket). Simultaneously, other policymakers acknowledge but ultimately avoid addressing how the economic system fundamentally drives health inequalities (dancing around the elephant in the room). This results in perpetuating a focus on downstream interventions rather than disrupting health's structural and economic determinants. While notable exceptions exist, sustained examples of upstream economic intervention remain scarce. Health promotion practitioners are positioned to challenge this paradox through their core competencies in policy influence, systems thinking, partnership building, and community mobilisation. By supporting policymakers to address power and wealth inequalities that underpin health disparities, health promotion practitioners can help move beyond approaches focused primarily on individual behaviour change. This commentary calls for creative collaborations, new language for conceptualising wellbeing economies, and broader public support to expand what is deemed politically possible in addressing economic causes of health inequalities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47379,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Journal of Australia","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hpja.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
