Oh, and the study's conclusion is this gem (emphasis added):

in this cross-sectional study of nhis data from 2004 to 2018, there were significant differences in sleep duration by race and ethnicity, and the prevalence of unrecommended sleep duration was persistently higher among black individuals. the disparities were greatest for black women, black individuals who had middle or high income, and young and middle-aged black adults. given the importance of sleep to health, the prevalence of short and long sleep duration may be associated with health disparities.
