Association of socioeconomic deprivation with sleep health in patients with type 2 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Socioeconomic deprivation may represent a risk factor for poor sleep health in patients with T2DM.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract

Usual difficulties falling asleep or sleeping through the night
1.20(1.12–1.28)
Use of ≥1 hypnotic medication
1.41(1.09–1.84)
- Higher odds of snoring and difficulties staying awake during the daytime, aOR
- 1.09 (1.01, 1.18) (95% CI)
- Higher odds of short sleep duration (<6 hours/day), aOR
- 1.69 (1.50, 1.91) (95% CI)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
