Sleep Disorders and Traumatic Stress SIG
Mission
The primary goal of the Sleep Disorders and Traumatic Stress SIG is to advance theory, research, assessment, and evidence-based treatments in traumatic stress and sleep disorders. We hold dissemination, networking, and collaboration as key to advancing science and clinical practice.
Background
Sleep disturbances are a core feature of traumatic stress that influence onset, symptoms, and treatment outcomes in patients with traumatic stress. Advancing knowledge of sleep disorders in the context of trauma offers a unique and underutilized opportunity to advance clinical care and research.
Specific Aims:
- Encourage basic, clinical, translational, and implementation research efforts relevant to traumatic stress and sleep disorders via discussion and collaboration.
- Advance evidence-based clinical practice relevant to assessment and treatment of sleep disorders and trauma-related disorders.
- Support dissemination and implementation efforts for science relevant to sleep disorders and traumatic stress.
