Abstract
We examined associations among grit, resilience, meaning-making and sleep among 160 youth in Dominica, 6 months following Tropical Storm Erika. The relative concurrent effects of grit and resilience on sleep varied as a function of youth’s ability to construct narrative meaning from their lived experiences of the storm.
