Abstract
We hypothesized that the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and insomnia severity would be mediated by recent stressful life events. Data from 2108 undergraduates was collected via an online survey using standardized scales. Our mediation hypothesis was supported. Overall, our model accounted for 32% of the variance in insomnia severity.
