Impact of Operational Sleep Disruption on PTSD-Relevant Fear Learning Processes

Abstract

This report covers Year 1 of the project. This project examines the impact of disturbances in normal sleep and circadian regulation on mechanisms underlying vulnerability to, and maintenance of, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal of Year 1 was to set the study up and commence data collection. We proposed to complete 15 participants. Progress was slowed due to experiencing significant unexpected hardware and software issues requiring us to return our primary data collection equipment to the manufacturer twice. Despite these hurdles, we completed 7 participants (46.7% of target), and are now running smoothly. We have plans in place to increase the pace of participant recruitment and completion in Year 2, to make up for lost time in Year 1.
