25名患有与战斗有关的创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人进行了为期1 - 4晚的整夜多导睡眠图研究。所有受试者都有睡眠问题。分析显示，到研究的第二晚，发现19例（76%）患者出现临床显着的周期性睡眠肢体运动（PLM）。PLM与正常人的睡眠投诉有关。由于这个原因，创伤后应激障碍中的睡眠抱怨只与精神障碍本身有关的常见假设受到了挑战。
Twenty-five veterans suffering from combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder were studied for 1-4 nights with all-night polysomnography. All subjects had sleep complaints. Analysis reveals that nineteen (76%) of the patients were found to have clinically significant periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMs) by the second night of study. PLMs are associated with sleep complaints in normals. For this reason the common assumption that sleep complaints in posttraumatic stress disorder are related only to the psychiatric disorder itself are challenged.
