Sleep

Department of Neurology, University of Washington School of Medicine and University of Washington Sleep Medicine Center, Seattle.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how sleep duration (both short and long) is linked to PTSD symptoms, focusing on genetic and environmental influences using data from twin pairs.
- Results indicate that both inadequate and excessive sleep correlate with higher PTSD symptom severity, with a significant genetic component influencing each.
- The findings suggest that environmental factors from childhood impact sleep variability, while genetic factors primarily influence PTSD symptom variability in those exposed to trauma.
