Sleep Dysregulation

Related to Trauma

About Sleep Dysregulation:

Sleep is essential for humans, but sleep itself is not enough; it’s about getting quality sleep for good health and well-being. Those impacted by mental health diagnoses, such as trauma, are more likely to experience insomnia, hypersomnolence, and other sleep disorders that may cause mental distress. Fortunately, both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions can offer significant relief. Trauma-based therapy, psychotherapy, and the short-term use of over-the-counter or prescription sleep aids can all play a role in restoring healthy sleep patterns and improving overall well-being.

Recommended For:

Nonpharmacological and pharmacological therapies are available for different types of experienced trauma such as:

  • Trauma associated with being a first responder or involved in combat

  • Trauma associated with a serious medical event.

  • Trauma associated with being a victim of a violent crime.

  • Trauma associated with sexual assault.
