Sleep metrics, including sleep duration, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep fragmentation index (SFI), were derived from 7-day wrist actigraphy. Race and ethnicity (Black; Mexican American [MA]; Non-Hispanic White [NHW]), sex, and age (&lt;65; \u226565 years) were self-reported.

Compared to NHW participants, Black and MA participants had shorter mean sleep duration (Black: 7.1 \u00b11.2 hours; MA: 7.1 \u00b11.1 hours; NHW: 7.5 \u00b11.1 hours; p&lt;0.0001), lower median sleep efficiency (Black: 87.2%; MA: 87.8%; NHW: 90.6%; p&lt;0.0001), longer median WASO (Black: 61.2 minutes; MA: 56.7 minutes; NHW: 44.4 minutes; p&lt;0.0001), and higher mean SFI (Black: 32.0 \u00b111.0%; MA: 27.3 \u00b19.7%; NHW: 24.0 \u00b19.0%; p&lt;0.0001). Compared to men, women had longer mean sleep duration (women: 7.4 \u00b11.1 hours; men: 7.1 \u00b11.2 hours; p=0.0004) and lower mean SFI (women: 25.9 \u00b18.8%; men: 28.9 \u00b112.1%; p=0.0001). Older participants had longer mean sleep duration (old: 7.4 \u00b11.1 hours; young: 7.1 \u00b11.1 hours; p&lt;0.0001), higher median sleep efficiency (old: 89.8%; young: 87.7%; p&lt;0.0001), shorter median WASO (old: 48.5 minutes; young: 56.8 minutes; p&lt;0.0001), and lower mean SFI (old: 26.1 \u00b110.2%; young: 28.1 \u00b110.2%; p=0.007).
