<strong>Abstract</strong>

Poor sleep represents a central health disparity for people experiencing homelessness, and any intervention to alleviate the impacts of homelessness should aim to improve sleep. We measured actimetry-based sleep in homeless adults spending their nights in four types of shelters in Seattle, WA, during the summer and winter. Homeless participants experienced more sleepless nights than housed participants in both seasons. During the summer sleeping nights, homeless participants experienced sleep patterns similar to housed subjects, but during the winter, their sleep duration was up to 1.5 hours shorter. Similarly, sleep quality, determined through sleep variability index, activity during the night, and intraindividual variability of sleep parameters, was poorer during the winter in homeless than in housed participants. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using objectively measured sleep as a proxy for assessing the value of specific interventions to improve living conditions in people experiencing homelessness. Given the bidirectional relationship between sleep and both physical and mental health, our study reveals the health inequities of chronic sleep disparity for those living outdoors.
