Previous research demonstrates the importance of family relationships to sleep. This paper aims to assess the influence of gender and partnership status on sleep quality among parents. My results suggest that fathers have better sleep quality than mothers. In addition, partnership status does not affect fathers' sleep quality, however it does affect mothers' sleep quality. Cohabiting, formerly partnered, and lone mothers are likely to have worse sleep than married mothers. However, when compared to each other, unmarried and unpartnered mothers do not have differing sleep qualities. This strives to fill a gap in theory and research on the role of partnership as a connection between parenthood and gender, as well as extending research by revealing previously unexplored differences in nonmarital statuses among mothers. 2015-10-14 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1437050135 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1437050135 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
