Insomnia in the Military: Application and Effectiveness of Cognitive and Pharmacologic Therapies

Vincent F Capaldi 2nd et al. Curr Psychiatry Rep. 2015 Oct.

Abstract

Insomnia is one of the most common complaints of US armed service members. Diagnosis and treatment of insomnia in active duty and veteran populations are often complicated by comorbid disorders experienced by military personnel, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi), pharmacologic interventions, and alternative therapies are discussed as relevant to their applications within military populations. Future directions in research are suggested.

Keywords: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia; Insomnia; Military; Sleep.
