Researchers publish groundbreaking study on trauma-related sleep disorder

Sarah Hawkins, registered polysomnographic technologist, prepares equipment for a sleep study at the San Antonio Market Sleep Disorders Center at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, Aug. 31, 2022. A team of military and civilian researchers has identified a new sleep disorder that’s been disrupting the lives of trauma survivors for decades, if not centuries. While there have been related studies, this was the largest to date and identifies trauma associated sleep disorder, or TSD, as a distinct sleep-related disorder or parasomnia.
