There are emerging links between disturbed sleep and mental
illness. These associations may have particular relevance for military
populations which are often faced with extremely stressful situations
and profound sleep deprivation. Indeed, disturbed sleep has been predictive
of mental illness following exposure to trauma, and, conversely,
treatment of sleep problems has helped alleviate mental illness. There
is a need for further investigation of sleep and mental health of soldiers
participating in basic combat training (BCT), which is clearly also
associated with sleep loss and stress.
