This unique volume advances the literature on sleep and health by
illuminating the impacts of family dynamics on individuals' quality
and quantity of sleep. Its lifespan perspective extends across
childhood, adolescence, adulthood and older age considering both
phenomena of individual development and family system dynamics,
particularly parent-child and marital relationships. It extends, as
well, to the broader contexts of social disparities in sleep as a
significant health behavior. Emerging concepts and practical
innovations include ancestral roots of sleep in family contexts,
sleep studies as a lens for understanding family health, and
methodologies, particularly the use of actigraphy technology, for
studying sleep patterns in individuals and families. This rich area
of inquiry holds significant keys to understanding a vital human
behavior and its critical role in physical, psychological, and
relational health and wellbeing. Among the topics covered: * Sleep
and development: familial and sociocultural considerations. *
Relationship quality: implications for sleep quality and sleep
disorders. * Couple dynamics and sleep quality in an international
perspective. * Family influences on sleep: comparative and
historical-evolutionary perspectives. * Sociodemographic,
psychosocial, and contextual factors in children's sleep. * Dynamic
interplay between sleep and family life: review and directions for
future research. Family Contexts of Sleep and Health Across the
Life Course will advance the work of researchers and students in
the fields of population health, family demography and sociology,
sleep research and medicine, human development, neuroscience,
biobehavioral health, and social welfare, as well as that of
policymakers and health and human services practitioners.
