Summary

This study tests whether sitting in front of a bright light for 60 minutes each morning can improve sleep in veterans who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and may also have PTSD. About 200 veterans will wear a sleep tracker and fill out questionnaires before, during, and after 4 weeks of light therapy. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach can reduce insomnia and daytime sleepiness.
