摘要: This study explores the influence of marital quality on sleep concordance among older couples, utilizing data from the 2009 and 2013 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and its Disability and Use of Time Supplement (DUST). Sleep concordance, defined as the alignment of bedtimes and wake-up times between partners, was measured using time diary data. Findings indicate that higher marital quality is associated with greater sleep concordance, while lower marital quality is linked to discrepancies in sleep patterns. The study also reveals gender asymmetry, with husbands’ perceptions of marital quality having a more substantial impact on sleep concordance than wives’. These results underscore the importance of marital dynamics in understanding sleep behaviors among older adults.
