Special Issue: Sleep and Sleep Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Guest Editor: David L. Ripley

This special issue covers sleep disorders following traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is quite common for brain injury to disrupt the pattern of release of neurotransmitters responsible for normal sleep–wake cycle, resulting in insomnia and rapid sleep–wake cycles. Injury to deeper structures in the brain and brainstem that are part of the reticular activating system may result in disorders of consciousness or sleep disorders. Concomitant injuries, such as fractures, may also result in pain or positioning problems that may complicate a patient’s ability to get adequate sleep. Additionally, many of the medications that are administered soon after brain injury may alter sleep function. All of these issues make appropriate treatment of sleep issues extremely challenging.

This issue will give readers a greater understanding of the interplay of sleep and TBI. This knowledge has the potential to improve both diagnosis as well as treatment of this class of post-TBI impairment. All content is outlined below, which includes a selection of openly available articles. Further details about this special issue are featured in the press release and the editorial.
