A new University of Pennsylvania study links insomnia in soldiers and post-traumatic stress disorder. Sleep researcher Philip Gehrman used data from the military's Millennium Cohort Study, which tracks the health of service members over time. He focused on participants who filled out surveys before and after deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan -- and found that pre-existing sleep issues such as insomnia were a significant risk factor in developing Post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health issues. This was reported by newsworks.org on July 8, 2013.
