Okay, so you study this in animals (rather than humans) but I'm curious what you'd recommend for humans who suffered alternating sleep deprivation and too much sleep during their formative years (8-25)? Overwhelmingly this public suffers insomnia and often other sleep disturbances (nightmares). Co-morbidity with trauma (they're ex-cult members).
So far I have the following:
Drop temp 2-3F*
Darken space
Regular schedule
Things that dampen sympathetic system (meditation)(music?)
CBT-I
Pink Noise & Music designed for sleep
Bilateral Stimulation (Bls) / EMDR
Exercise (but not too close to bed)
Eliminate blue light an hour or two before bed
No caffeine after 3 pm
Is there anything that can repair or compensate for the damage?
