Summary
As part of the Millennium Cohort Study, 41,225 Service members who deployed in support of OEF/OIF completed baseline and follow-up questionnaires to determine the associations between deployment and sleep quantity and quality. Deployment was shown to significantly influence sleep quantity and quality. Personnel reporting combat exposure or mental health symptoms had increased odds of trouble sleeping.
