• W295166324 abstract "Sleep, which is essential for our health and well-being, has been called state which has little in common with our waking life (Harrison, 1994, p. 4). Most researchers who examine sleep in relation to older men assess sleep quality and sleep disorders (e.g., Driscoll et al., 2008), the effects of aging on the biology of sleep (e.g., Huang et al., 2002; Viriello, Larsen, and Moe, 2004), and whether the sleep patterns of aging men can be explained by hormonal shifts (e.g., Lunenfeld, 2002). Just as the is a social and natural phenomenon, so is sleep. The basic sociological assumption is that when, where, and how we sleep are all sociocultural matters. Recently, sociology has begun to concern itself with sleep. Authors such as Hislop and Arber (20033) and Williams (2002,2005) have shown how sleep is a multifaceted phenomenon, with social as well as physical dimensions. Sociologists are concerned with how people make sense of sleep and their understanding and knowledge of sleep; whether people accept or resist this knowledge and understanding; the social context in which sleep occurs; and the ways in which sleep is influenced by, and negotiated with, others. Many of these strands are evident in Hislop and Arber's (20033, 2003b, 2003c) study of midlife women's sleep, in which the researchers found, for example, that women give priority to the sleep of their partners and children above their own. From this study, Hislop and Arber conclude that our sleep-related behavior may reflect our gendered waking lives (cf., West and Zimmerman, 1987). To date, men have been relatively absent from sociological studies of sleep. This article goes some way to rectifying this situation. Data drawn on here come from a study of forty (heterosexual) couples' sleep. Couples were first interviewed together within their own home. Immediately following this couple interview, each partner was asked to complete an audio sleep diary (see Hislop et al., 2005) for a week. The partners were then interviewed individually four to six weeks later. Two further things should be noted: First, although the focus is on men age 20 to 59, the discussion does highlight fruitful areas of research into older men's sleep. Second, the men under consideration here are all white, mainly middle-class, and would describe themselves as heterosexual; other aspects of social relations, such as class and ethnicity, are largely ignored. These men do, however, offer a window onto traditional forms of masculine identity and male roles. Within contemporary Western societies, the dominant, hegemonic ideology is said to give priority to such traits as physical strength, virility, wealth, self-control, and aggression (Calasanti, 2004), to value youth above age (Whitehead, 2002), and to reflect a white and middle-class orientation. UNDERSTANDING AND ATTITUDE The ways men understand sleep, and their related attitudes and behaviors, are built on numerous assumptions having to do with the and function (see Meadows et al., 2008). The men in the present study considered sleep to be something that the body needed. Their view of sleep remained firmly located within the body, even when it was talked about as something that fuels the mind (sleep leads to improved concentration) or when the mind was considered as something that delays or disrupts sleep (thinking too much leads to delayed switch off): Your is telling you that you need to sleep for whatever reason ... It is time to close down for five minutes.... (ID i; individual interview) In locating sleep as such, the men appeared to separate needs from what want and they considered themselves fortunate when the two coincided: And for me it was very much a lifestyle choice, I guess if my needed that [much sleep], I guess I would have to do it, and I don't know whether I can consider myself fortunate that I don't. (ID 4; couple interview) Though the men did refer to the as separate from the I, the self, they did not see the relationship as one-way. …" @default.
