Summary
This study looked at 53 veterans with PTSD, sleep apnea, and insomnia who were not using their CPAP machines regularly. Researchers compared adding a sleep medication (eszopiclone) to brief behavioral therapy versus therapy alone. The goal was to see if the combination improved sleep quality, PTSD symptoms, and CPAP adherence over 6 months.
