Trans-Actional Positionality
Researcher positionality is crucial to qualitative research and influences all aspects of the research process, including access to the research setting, the questions that guide inquiry, and the interpretation of data. Yet the dominant way scholars communicate positionality in publications—the positionality statement—often reduces complex and emergent positional dynamics to static lists of social identities. Recent scholarship reconceptualizes p…
Orchestrating rhythms in autism care
This article delves into the underexplored relationship between lay expertise and temporality by analysing semi-structured interviews with parents who treat their autistic children using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The analysis indicates that time and temporalities play a significant role in how parents construct and enact their expertise. Faced with uncertainty, urgency, and inadequate support from medical and educational syste…
Sleepscapes
Sociologists are increasingly interested in exploring the role of time in relation to illness, disability, and care. However, the question of how individuals experience and navigate the temporal dimensions of sleep in their everyday and everynight lives requires further empirical research. The present study addresses this question using in-depth semi-structured interviews with 66 employed midlife Israelis from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds…
How and Why People Use Mobile Phones Near Bedtime and in Bed
Although prior studies have examined the impact of smartphone use on sleep and there is a growing interest in the interface between mobile phones and society, researchers know little about how and why people use mobile phones before bedtime and in bed. The current research explores this question by drawing on data from sleep diaries and in-depth interviews with 66 Israelis. The results show that the human-mobile phone sleep assemblage generates a…
Residents' choice of a placement in periphery hospitals in Israel
Sleep as a familial and communal matter
This article expands the scholarly understanding of the social determinants of sleep health. The study concludes that since individuals may opt to conform to current social norms, which are enforced by members of the family and community, interventions aimed at promoting sleep health should target not only individuals but also the family and community
Co-Sleeping with Partners and Pets as a Family Practice of Intimacy
Despite advances in the sociology of sleep, we know relatively little about the experience of co-sleeping in general and about co-sleeping with pets in particular. This study draws on semi-structured interviews with Israeli couples who raise either a dog or a cat to show that co-sleeping with partners and pets is a family practice of intimacy, which both implicates and constitutes time and space, emotions, as well as the body and embodiment of th…
Sleep, body work and bodily capital
The subject of sleep has been receiving increasing attention in multiple arenas over the past decades, including in the social sciences and the media. However, only a few empirical studies have investigated how sleep is constructed within and by media discourses, and also whether and how these discourses are gendered. The present article explores how two popular lifestyle magazines, Men's Health and Women's Health, construct sleep. The analysis o…
The trajectory of “medical cannabis” in Israel
You have to do something
Although the sociology of sleep is a growing subfield, little is known about agency in the context of sleep. This article contributes to the sociological literature by showing how different types of agency emerge as a result of sleep interembodiment (i.e., experiencing sleep partners' bodies as intertwined). The study draws on qualitative data generated through in-depth interviews with 70 snorers and 20 sleep partners of snorers. Interviews were …
"Medical Cannabis" as a Contested Medicine
Few empirical studies have explored how different types of knowledge are associated with diverse objectivities and moral economies. Here, we examine these associations through an empirical investigation of the public policy debate in Israel around medical cannabis (MC), which may be termed a contested medicine because its therapeutic effects, while subjectively felt by users, are not generally recognized by the medical profession. Our findings in…
Between Universal Human Rights and Ethno-National Values
Earlier studies on Israel's combat against human trafficking largely focused on United States pressure as the key factor that led Israel to change its attitude and adopt the global anti-trafficking norm. This article, instead, highlights the consistency of Israel's stand in the face of international pressure. Drawing on Knesset protocols, our analysis demonstrates that throughout the translation process, Israeli lawmakers unfailingly modified the…
Medical cannabis
I Don't Want to See Myself as a Disabled Person
This article explains how the most recommended treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, acts and interacts with users' bodies, sleep partners' bodies, and cultural discourses to produce emotions and practices that generate the subjectivity of a disabled or abled person. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with OSA patients, this article illustrates how introducing CPAP devices into patients'…
Conducting Joint Interviews With Couples
Scholars have recently begun to discuss joint interviewing from a methodological perspective, generally presenting a favorable view of this mode of interviewing. In the present article, the author draws on her experiences with interviewing obstructive sleep apnea patients and their partners to shed further light on the methodological and ethical challenges of joint interviews. Specifically, it is shown that joint interviews may become a site in w…
Rhetorical and regulatory boundary-work
Delaying and seeking care for obstructive sleep apnea
Social scientists have proposed various theories as to when, why, and how people come to seek medical care for multiple conditions. Yet, there is still little empirical research to illustrate the pathways into and out of care, especially for chronic illness. This article contributes to this body of work by exploring individuals' reasons for delaying and seeking care for obstructive sleep apnea, which despite being the most diagnosed sleep disorde…
Whore stigma’ as a transformative experience
While the scholarship on sex work is substantial, it neglects to explore whether sex work and associated stigma affect sex workers' cognitive expectations. Drawing on observations of street-based sex work as well as in-depth interviews with Jewish-Israeli sex workers, this study suggests that because stigma is a moral experience that threatens and often destroys what really matters to stigmatised individuals, it leads to recurrent disappointments…

Sleep as a Gendered Family Affair
This study contributes to the emerging sociological literature on sleep, family, and gender by examining the experience and management of snoring within families. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Jewish-Israeli men and women who snore as well as their family members, this article suggests that sleep is a gendered family affair. Family members attempt to face the challenges of snoring by using several management strategies to mend and sustain f…
Contesting medicalisation, doubting the diagnosis
Whereas social scientific studies have investigated the emergence of the category Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), the most commonly diagnosed sleep disorder, no study has examined whether and how the ways in which OSA emerged affect patients' reception of the diagnosis. This article fills this gap by drawing upon in-depth interviews with 65 Israelis who received a laboratory diagnosis of OSA. This study finds that many patients doubt the accuracy…
