Sleep Disturbances and Childhood Sexual Abuse
Jennie G. Noll, Penelope K. Trickett, Elizabeth J. Susman, and Frank W. Putnam
Journal of Pediatric Psychology, June 2005
This longitudinal, prospective study examined the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and later sleep problems in adolescence while taking into account cooccurring psychopathology that is closely related to sleep disruption [e.g., depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)]. [...] Hierarchical regression analysis showed that sexually abused participants reported significantly greater rates of sleep disturbances than comparison participants above and beyond depression and PTSD. Sleep disturbances were related to revictimization rates independent of sexual abuse, depression, and PTSD.
