Sleep: An unplayed ace in research and treatment of youth with ACEs by Sarah L.H. Kamhout, Kara McRae Duraccio

“…Sleep interventions can also be offered succinctly and affordably, which can address systemic barriers to care often encountered in high-risk populations. This discussion considers biological and psychological evidence for sleep treatment improving symptoms associated with adversity, reviews existing sleep interventions, and calls for further research into trauma-informed and culturally-informed interventions which can be tailored to specific needs of individuals with histories of adversity. …”
