HCPlive (7/12, Grossi) reports, “Sleep disturbances have a significant impact on individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),” investigators concluded in the findings of a 16-study systematic review published online July 1 in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Additionally, “despite the association with higher overall PTSD severity, the effectiveness of trauma-focused psychotherapy was not inhibited when treating sleep disorder symptoms, with the exception of sleep-disordered breathing,” the review concluded.
