Description
Thomas Chacko and co-authors published this 2023 survey of sleep problems among Vietnam veterans. Veterans often carry sleep disorders that wear on body and mind, and rates may shift with age. The team surveyed 350 veterans, most of them White men who had served in the Army.
About 59 percent screened positive for sleep apnea, 28 percent for insomnia, 19 percent for PTSD, and 6 percent for nightmare disorder. The younger group, aged 65 to 74, showed more insomnia and PTSD than those 75 and older. The problems also traveled together: insomnia scores rose with PTSD, apnea, and nightmares. The authors say care should treat these tangled issues as one picture, not separate boxes.
