The Associations between Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Sleep Disruptions, and Mental Health Among College Students

The purpose of this study was to examine the connections between sleep, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and mental health (N=121). Sleep disturbances predicted poor mental health. Having a TBI was linked with nightmares and narcolepsy. Those who experienced a TBI reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, disinhibition, and PTSD.
