“…The patients who were developing PTSD, however, had shorter continuous periods of REM sleep prior to stage shifts or arousals. Findings suggesting a relationship between fragmented patterns of REM sleep and PTSD were also provided by a recent study of PTSD patients with limited chronicity and comorbdity (53).…”

“…These included marked fragmentation of REM sleep (Breslau et al 2004, Habukawa et al 2007, Mellman et al 2002) (indicative of arousal-related awakenings from REM sleep linked to adrenergic surges), and increases sympathetic tone of the autonomic nervous system (Harvey et al 2003, Mellman & Hipolito 2006) (reflective of heightening adrenergic activity). Of further relevance, both objective sleep disturbances occurring in the immediate aftermath of trauma exposure, as well as heightened sympathetic vagal tone during REM sleep, are associated with an increased risk of PTSD (Koren et al 2002, Mellman et al 2002).…”

Rapidly emerging evidence continues to describe an intimate and causal relationship between sleep and emotional brain function. These findings are mirrored by longstanding clinical observations demonstrating that nearly all mood and anxiety disorders co-occur with one or more sleep abnormalities. This review aims to (1) provide a synthesis of recent findings describing the emotional brain and behavioral benefits triggered by sleep, and conversely, the detrimental impairments following a lack of sleep, (2) outline a proposed framework in which sleep, and specifically rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, supports a process of affective brain homeostasis, optimally preparing the organism for next-day social and emotional functioning, and (3) describe how this hypothesized framework can explain the prevalent relationships between sleep and psychiatric disorders, with a particular focus on post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression.

“…Babson & Feldner, 2010). PTSD has been associated with reduced sleep efficiency, increased sleep latency, increased sleep fragmentation, and greater night-to-night variability in sleep (Breslau et al, 2004; Calhoun et al, 2007; Habukawa, Uchimura, Maeda, Kotorii, & Maeda, 2007; Mellman, Kulick-Bell, Ashlock, & Nolan, 1995; Straus, Drummond, Nappi, Jenkins, & Norman, 2015). Sleep difficulties in the Veteran population are linked to a variety of poor mental health and socioeconomic outcomes.…”

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and sleep problems significantly affect recovery and functional status in military personnel and Veterans returning from combat. Despite recent attention, sleep is understudied in the Veteran population. Few treatments and rehabilitation protocols target sleep, although poor sleep remains at clinical levels and continues to adversely impact functioning even after the resolution of PTSD or mild TBI symptoms. Recent developments in non-pharmacologic sleep treatments have proven efficacious as stand-alone interventions and have potential to improve treatment outcomes by augmenting traditional behavioral and cognitive therapies. This review discusses the extensive scope of work in the area of sleep as it relates to TBI and PTSD, including pathophysiology and neurobiology of sleep; existing and emerging treatment options; as well as methodological issues in sleep measurements for TBI and PTSD. Understanding sleep problems and their role in the development and maintenance of PTSD and TBI symptoms may lead to improvement in overall treatment outcomes while offering a non-stigmatizing entry in mental health services and make current treatments more comprehensive by helping to address a broader spectrum of difficulties.
