N2  - In this literature review the issue of poor sleep in internationally displaced adolescents who are now residing in the United States is explored with a critical eye. The prevalence of PTSD or sleep disturbance in displaced adolescents has not been well researched; however, it can be extrapolated that they would also have varying degrees of sleep problems for similar reasons to their adult counterparts. There is research showing how important getting sufficient sleep is for adolescents, as is there research highlighting the psychological trauma of internationally displaced adults and how it detrimentally affects their sleep. Little to no research has been focused on sleep in adolescent refugees. Internationally displaced adolescents are a population in dire need of adequate sleep; they have high rates of sleep dysfunction that is associated with trauma, similar to adult refugee populations. Displaced adolescents could stand to benefit greatly from the basic principles of sleep hygiene. While refugee families may not have access to the same resources to implement sleep hygiene as other families, there are practical ways to improve sleep quantity and quality in displaced adolescents by limiting screen use before bedtime, balancing catch up sleep on the weekends, attending cognitive behavioral therapy, and having a consistent scheduled sleep routine.
