Sleep Issues and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Abstract

Anadip Sanganpanich*

A After experiencing traumatic stress, women are more likely than men to experience symptoms of a number of mental health issues, such as nightmares and difficulty sleeping. People with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently continue to struggle with sleep issues even after completing cognitive behavioral therapy. Imagery rehearsal therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or a combination of these methods may help traumatized women deal with nightmares and insomnia. Traumatized women may benefit from having their nightmares alleviated through the use of proposing in conjunction with other psychotropic medications or psychotherapy.
