Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between sleep quality and recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By evaluating sleep patterns in individuals undergoing PTSD treatment, the research explores how improving sleep quality can enhance therapeutic outcomes. Findings suggest that better sleep quality significantly contributes to reducing PTSD symptoms and improving overall mental health. These results highlight the importance of incorporating sleep assessments and interventions in PTSD treatment plans to optimize recovery. The study advocates for a multidisciplinary approach, integrating sleep medicine and clinical psychology.
