Sleep Study Reports Hispanics Lose More Sleep From Worrying Than Whites

By Daniela Capistrano

Does stress keep you up at night? If you’re one of many who fall under the nebulous category “Hispanic,” don’t worry -– you’re not alone.

A recent study by the National Sleep Foundation found that Whites were more likely to have received a diagnosis of insomnia but Hispanics were most likely to toss and turn about work, money relationships and health problems. Híjole!

The study also found that Asian-Americans slept the best of all and were also less likely to watch television or drink alcohol before hitting la cama. The study also included this interesting tidbit:

Hispanic and black couples are more likely to *ahem* every night than white and Asian couples.

Well, if we’ve learned anything from Everybody Loves Raymond, this should come as no surprise.
