Abstract
The RESTED study is a longitudinal randomized clinical trial designed to examine the feasibility, engagement, and outcomes of a sleep-focused intervention among adults recently treated in the emergency department following experiences of interpersonal violence. Participants are recruited with 72 hours of trauma exposure in the ED and randomized active or controlled conditions over an approximately six-month period. The study integrates remote screening, weekly structured treatment sessions over six weeks, and daily sleep diary assessments, along with baseline and follow-up measures, to characterize sleep patterns and evaluate changes in sleep disturbance, mental health symptoms, recovery trajectories, and safety-related outcomes over time. By intervening early in the aftermath of trauma, the RESTED study aims to evaluate whether a brief, trauma-informed, sleep-based intervention can promote resilience, reduce the development of persistent posttraumatic symptoms, and support recovery among individuals exposed to interpersonal violence. Findings from the RESTED study will inform the development and scalability of telehealth-delivered, trauma-informed, sleep-based interventions for individuals recovering from interpersonal violence in post–emergency care settings.
