Role of Sleep Disorder In Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Brain injured client in the sleep lab.How common are sleep disorders after brain injury? If an abnormality is identified and corrected, will it improve rehabilitation and quality of life?

Sleep studies have been conducted to determine why survivors of brain injury often report sleep disturbance, lack of dreaming, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and excessive sleepiness, even though they have had what is considered a "normal" amount of sleep.

Clients sleep 7-8 hours nightly and yet, still have excessive daytime sleepiness. A client can go from awake to asleep in five minutes during the day.

Is there a connection to medication, type of sleep difficulty, type or location of brain injury?

Study Progress Update: We have met our quota on enrolled subjects and are now analyzing the results.
