Percept Mot Skills. 1999 Jun;88(3 Pt 2):1095-6. doi: 10.2466/pms.1999.88.3c.1095.

Abstract

We tested the mean differences in scores on Sleep Hygiene Knowledge and on Sleep Hygiene Practices among four ethnic groups of university students (N = 963). We computed significant main effects for ethnicity for both of these variables. Primarily the results reflect that the Euro-American students scored significantly higher on both scales than each of the other three groups.
