Great article. My only quibble is with use of "depravity" for (or instead of) "deprivation," which puts you in the camp of those who morally judge the impoverished. Somehow that doesn't strike me as the intent here!

While the contribution of stress to sleep insufficiency may be unequivocal ... Is "self-reported" short sleep in CDC data best explained by "economic stress" as proposed ? CDC surveillance datasets indicate that obesity, sleep apnea, and a constellation of undertreated medical conditions are also frequent in economic stress areas.

Equity would be best-served by eliminating economic disparities. However, addressing "medical conditions" may prove more amenable to mitigation than "economic" stress per se ?
