MONDAY, April 5, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Serving in the U.S. military can be stressful, and new research suggests the effect of that is showing up in a dramatic increase in two types of sleep problems.
From 2005 to 2019, insomnia increased 45-fold and sleep apnea rose more than 30-fold among those who serve, researchers found.
Those most likely to be diagnosed with either of the sleep disorders included personnel who were married, male, white, 40 and older, and higher-ranking enlisted members of the Army. The study examined medical data on active-duty members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force.
