Anxiety and Depression Contribute More to TBI Complaints Than Sleep Disturbances in a Military Sample

Abstract

To examine the extent to which sleep complaints contribute to cognitive and somatosensory symptoms after controlling for anxiety/depression symptoms among SMs with a history of TBI. An estimated 50-97% of military Service Members (SMs) with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have sleep complaints [1, 2]. Sleep-wake disturbances after TBI can adversely impact recovery, cognitive and emotional functioning [3]. Sleep disturbances are also common associates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression [4], which are often comorbid in those with a history of TBI. It is unknown if sleep disturbances influence post-TBI symptoms beyond the influence of psychiatric symptoms.
