Abstract: We examined how experiencing discrimination during the college years among a sample of underrepresented students may be related to poor sleep in young adulthood via greater marginalization-related vigilance. Results from our study suggested that discrimination across the college years indirectly predicted poor sleep six years later through greater marginalization-related vigilance.
