Summary
This trial aims to investigate how disrupted sleep is related to the impact of early life adversity on the health of blood vessels. They will study how sleep problems contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress in young adults who
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults who have had difficult experiences in childhood, like abuse or neglect, which may affect their sleep and heart health. They should be willing to undergo sleep monitoring at home and tests that measure blood vessel health.
What is being tested?
The study looks at how poor sleep might link early life stress to problems with blood vessels. It involves two parts: first measuring participants' sleep and vessel health, then seeing if improving sleep through therapy can help their vessels function better.
What are the potential side effects?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) is generally considered safe but may include temporary increases in anxiety or distress as individuals confront and change their sleeping habits.
