Micro Versus Macro Processes: How specific stress exposure impacts sleep, affect, and risk-related behavior on the path to disease in high-risk adults.

These findings shed new light on stress-to-disease processes, demonstrating how variable stress exposure influences critical shifts in behavior and sleep, contributing to psychological adjustment of firefighters over time. These data suggest practical ways to monitor risk in high-risk samples (e.g., monitoring sleep latency) and offer avenues for further explication of disease processes in real time.
