Pai te moe, pai te ora
Media has the potential to influence beliefs and social practices regarding sleep health. Sponsored articles, amateur guidance, and product advertising sit alongside Western scientific sleep research, which privileges biological and medicalized conceptualizations. Within this space, Indigenous knowledge and perspectives have largely been absent, creating a gap in culturally grounded understandings of sleep as a social practice. To begin the proce…
‘I’m doomed!’
The media are influential in shaping beliefs and attitudes towards health practices and behaviours, and the science of sleep is often disseminated through online news media. This paper explores audience responses to media reporting on the link between disrupted sleep and Alzheimer’s disease. The news article analysed was based on a scientific publication reporting on the link between sleep disruption and Alzheimer’s disease and the institutional …
Sleep as a social and cultural practice in Aotearoa
Traditionally, sleep science is grounded in biology, physiology, and medicine. But socio‐cultural considerations provide a crucial lens into sleep health. Exploring the sociology of sleep in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ) could broaden our understandings and better represent sleep‐related practices among our diverse communities. This scoping review represents the pre‐existing literature concerning sleep as a social or cultural practice in AoNZ. The …
Trauma or transcendence? The relationship between near-death experiences and dreaming
Kei te moe te tinana, kei te oho te wairua – As the body sleeps, the spirit awakens
For Aotearoa New Zealand Māori, sleep and wairua (spirit) are closely intertwined. During sleep the wairua awakens and journeys across multiple dimensions of time and space to attain the tools and knowledge the individual needs to navigate waking life. While this function of sleep is understood within Mātauranga Māori (bodies of knowledge regarding everything within the universe) (Hikuroa 2017), it has yet to be explored within psychological slee…
Sleep health in later life
Sleep is vital for health and wellbeing across the lifecourse. Ethnic differences have been observed with regards to the prevalence and predictors of self-reported sleep problems. An understanding of sleep experiences with ageing and across ethnicities is required to better support older people. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 23 people living in Aotearoa/New Zealand aged 61–92 years (12 Māori and 11 non-Māori) concerning current sleep …
Carers’ experiences of the transition of people with dementia into residential aged care
This study represents the experiences of informal carers of people with dementia concerning periods of transition into formal care. Retrospective interviews with 18 carers identified the key narratives: ‘This is why I had to’, ‘They said I need to’ and ‘It was a last resort’. These indicate a sense of carers’ responsibility in decision making and the undesirable assumptions around the move. However, the narrative of ‘I made the right decision’ wa…
Balancing sleeping with guardianship
Sleep has been recognised as compromised in dementia care. This study aims to represent the experiences and needs of informal carers via sleep-related accounts. Retrospective interviews were conducted with 20 carers concerning sleep changes across the trajectory of dementia care. Key interactive narratives were around: ‘sleep as my sacrifice’; tensions between identities of being a ‘sleeper’ versus ‘guardian’; and ‘sleep as a luxury’. Maintaining…
