The Associations Between Traumatic Brain Injury And Sleep Disorders, Mckenzie Hollander
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
The purpose of this study is to look at the connections between traumatic brain injury and sleep disorders. Prior research has shown that there are associations between TBI and sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs, circadian rhythm, sleepwalking, nightmares and daily sleep complaints on daily activities. Findings showed that prior traumatic brain injuries and severity of these brain injuries increase risk for sleep disorders.
