The article examines the characteristics of sleep disorders in military personnel who have suffered organic brain damage as a result of combat operations. The aim of the study was to identify the nature of sleep disorders in military personnel with traumatic brain injuries of var- ying severity. The study involved 25 military personnel aged 40 to 50 who had participated in combat operations and had no organic brain pathologies prior to their participation in military operations. Validated instruments were used to assess sleep disorders: the Athens Insomnia Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
