This study, called "The Iowa ACEs and Sleep Cohort and Manipulating Sleep in Young Adults With ACEs Studies," aims to understand how disrupted sleep connects adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with changes in blood vessel function (vascular endothelial dysfunction). Researchers will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), a structured program to improve sleep, as an intervention. The study is looking for 70 young adults, aged 18 to 29, who meet specific blood pressure and body mass index requirements. The main goal is to see how CBT-i affects blood vessel function, measured at the start and after 7 weeks. This research will help us understand how sleep can impact health in young adults who have experienced early life adversity.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 70 participants. It uses a cross-sectional cohort design to understand the relationship between sleep, early life adversity, and vascular health.

What's involved

You would complete in-home sleep studies and participate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i). Vascular endothelial function will be measured at the beginning and after 7 weeks.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants are followed for 7 weeks, with measurements taken at the start and end of this period.
