Summary

This trial uses a combination of sleep therapy and trauma therapy to help veterans with PTSD and insomnia. The sleep therapy aims to improve rest, making it easier to handle the trauma therapy, which reduces trauma-related fears. This approach targets veterans because they often experience both issues, which can hinder recovery.
