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. 000043542 540__ $$fCC BY 000043542 542__ $$fPublic domain 000043542 650__ $$aSleep Hygiene$$011545 000043542 650__ $$aStress Disorders, Post-Traumatic$$026468 000043542 650__ $$aSleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders$$020863 000043542 650__ $$aRefugees$$025270 000043542 650__ $$aAdolescent$$014285 000043542 6531_ $$aSleep in adolescents 000043542 6531_ $$aPTSD 000043542 6531_ $$aInsomnia 000043542 6531_ $$aInternationally displaced persons 000043542 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000043542 692__ $$aDivision of Physician Assistant Education$$041465 000043542 7001_ $$aDeming, Savannah$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10009-0002-7693-8380 000043542 7201_ $$aHanson, Brianna$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eEditor$$7Personal 000043542 8564_ $$90395a869-f9b2-4877-9d89-0f380b9acd2c$$s155453$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43542/files/Deming.Savannah.2024.pdf 000043542 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:43542$$pstudent-work 000043542 980__ $$aPhysician Assistant Program collection 000043542 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-08-05
