The day-to-day influence of trauma exposure and sleep dysfunction on everyday stress in youth at familial high-risk for psychotic disorders.

ABSTRACT: Cumulative research finds that exposure to childhood trauma, sleep dysfunction, and high stress levels are prevalent in youth diagnosed with and at-risk for psychotic disorders. However, few studies have investigated the association between nightly sleep and moment-to-moment stress in youth who are at familial high-risk (FHR) for psychotic disorders with varying levels of exposure to childhood trauma. The current study examined the day-to-day associations between trauma severity, nightly sleep duration, and next-day momentary stress in 19 FHR and 19 non-psychiatric youth (ages 13-19 years, 66 % girls). Ecological Momentary Assessment was used to assess these variables across three longitudinal timepoints (baseline, 6-months, and 12-months). The FHR group reported greater trauma severity an
