    bullet point  Purpose of Study
     
     
    Research has shown that sleep disruption may contribute to poor psychological health following a traumatic experience. This study seeks to examine how short term sleep loss affects emotional processing in healthy individuals who may or may not have served in the military. The study also considers factors such as genetic influences and past experiences. Understanding how sleep loss affects emotional processing in the brain will help researchers better understand the mechanisms that may contribute to disorders such as Posttraumatic Stress, depression, and addiction. This may enable researchers to find effective preventative and treatment interventions.
