High prevalence of diverse sleep disturbances including insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and obstructive sleep apnea are reported in chronic mTBI patients, often coexisting with mood disorders.
Self-reported sleep impairments significantly correlate with neurobehavioral symptom severity, depression, and anxiety, underscoring complex symptom interdependencies.
Sleep quality improvement through targeted interventions may reduce depressive and post-traumatic symptoms and enhance neurocognitive outcomes.
Comprehensive screening for sleep disorders should be embedded within chronic mTBI care to optimize recovery and functional outcomes.
