Religious Involvement, Health Locus of Control, and Sleep Disturbance: A Study of Older Mexican Americans

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Understanding the Context of Cognitive Aging

Abstract

Over the past three decades, numerous studies have shown that religious involvement—indicated by observable identities, feelings, beliefs, activities, and experiences in relation to the spiritual, divine, or super-natural—is associated with better health across the life course. The data have been remarkably consistent across indicators of health-related behavior, mental health, physical health, and mortality risk (Ellison & Levin, 1998; George, Ellison, & Larson, 2002; Hill, Burdette, & Idler, 2011; Idler, 2004, 2011; Koenig, King, & Carson, 2012; Krause & Hayward, 2016). In contrast to these more established literatures, researchers have virtually ignored possible links between religious involvement and sleep-related outcomes (Ellison, Bradshaw, Storch, Marcum, & Hill, 2011; Ellison, Deangelis, Hill, & Froese, 2019; Hill, Deangelis, & Ellison, 2018; Koenig et al., 2012). In fact, one recent review revealed only seven population-based studies of religious involvement and sleep (Hill et al., 2018). Although the evidence base is thin, the weight of the data demonstrates that religious adults (indicated by religious attendance, religious importance, frequency of prayer, sacred body view, and God-mediated control) tend to exhibit healthier sleep outcomes (sleep duration, overall sleep quality, sleep initiation, and sleep medications) than their less religious counterparts (Ellison et al., 2011; Hill, Burdette, Ellison, & Musick, 2006; Hill, Ellison, & Musick, 2020; Krause & Ironson, 2017).
