    Abstract:
    Healthcare disparities are a growing area of interest among scientists and clinicians. Articles identified from searches of the PubMed and PsycInfo databases, as well as the Google Scholar search engine including combinations of the key words and phrases: Black men, circadian rhythm, disease, ethnicity, gender, health disparities, illness, insomnia, race, sleep, sleep apnea, and sleep disorders were used for this review. This brief review addresses some of the limited work on sleep among Black men. Some information is available regarding expected sleep parameters, insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, and sleep disturbances related to general medical conditions. Many areas are still in need of exploration and, although emphasizing aspects of sleep, the present work is intended as a foundation to encourage further exploration across many disciplines in the health sciences. © 2012 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC.
