Additionally, this study examined whether a single yes/no question regarding TBI history was sufficient to gather accurate information about TBI incidence in college students.

Behavioral and exercise interventions for sleep dysfunction in the elderly: a brief review and future directions.

Purpose: The impact of sleep-related changes and disorders in the geriatric populations are of utmost concern due to health consequences and increased risk of injury as well as injuring others as a result of poor sleep.
