Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to characterize the role of sleep emotion processing and daily affect in post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD and whether improving sleep quality using slow wave activity enhancement will impact next-day affect in youth
Participants will attend 4 study visits
A clinical and trauma assessment visit A testing day that may include cognitive testing surveys and an MRI An overnight sleep study following one week of at-home sleep recordings with the device in the sham condition An overnight sleep study following one week of at-home sleep recordings with the device in the sleep enhancement condition
Detailed Description: In this study researchers aim to characterize sleep and explore its relationship to emotion processing and daily affect in 165 youth spilt into 3 groups Researchers will use advanced sleep assessment methodologies including 1 high-density EEG 256 channels in the laboratory to explore the regional distribution of sleep before and after an emotional learning task and 2 a sleep-wearable EEG recording headband SmartSleep to record sleep longitudinally at home Using SmartSleeps sleep enhancement algorithms researchers will determine whether the deepest sleep slow-wave activity SWA of non-rapid eye-movement NREM sleep can be reliably increased in all youth
