Abstract
ABSTRACT Women experiencing homelessness may face additional challenges related to sleep. Extant research indicates women in general are more likely to report sleep problems than men, including insufficient and disturbed sleep. This qualitative investigation explores the perceptions of sleep health among 16 women residing in transitional and emergency housing shelters. Participants noted the importance of sleep, sleep location, the importance of relaxation and rest to their well-being, and how work schedules often conflicted with sleep opportunities in housing programs. Participant recommendations for sleep promotion in housing programs included flexibility surrounding sleep hours for working clients and separate quarters for working vs. nonworking clients. Implications for sleep health promotion among women experiencing homelessness are discussed.
