Childhood Trauma and Adult Sleep Disorders

A 2015 PubMed article states that 61% of children in the US alone experienced some sort of trauma.

A clear association has been identified between childhood trauma and adult distributive sleep patterns such as narcolepsy and insomnia.

Other behavioral issues such as anxiety, obesity and substance abuse are also connected to childhood trauma.

Working with both a doctor to address the physical symptoms of sleep deprivation and a therapist to help address the attached emotional experiences greatly increases the opportunities for recovery.
