Summary
A sample of 2,717 U.S. Army Soldiers completed a survey to assess the prevalence and impact of short sleep duration during redeployment. Seventy-two percent of Soldiers slept less than six hours a day, which was more common among Soldiers reporting combat exposure. Results indicated that sleep deprivation can impact job performance and outcomes related to combat exposure.
