“…Its effects on overall function and quality of life are well documented [125][126][127][128]. Following a TBI, 30 to 70 percent of survivors report difficulties with sleep [125,[128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136]. In two separate studies, nearly 30 percent of TBI survivors met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, criteria for insomnia syndrome [125,132].…”

Abstract-This article evaluated the common physical sequelae that affect return to work (RTW) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We performed a Medline search and evaluation of current TBI rehabilitation texts. The information presented is a combination of published literature and clinical guidelines. The limitations faced by many patients with TBI can best be overcome through clever job search, job redesign, and community linkages with business and industry that are willing to partner in helping the patient with TBI regain employment. The physician plays a key role in communicating suggestions to the vocational specialist. The comorbidities described represent challenges to successful RTW. These problems are recurrent, long-term, and clearly affect job procurement, nature of job, level of required support, and likelihood of job retention. Conversely, these challenges should not be viewed as impenetrable obstacles. With appropriate supports such as compensatory strategies, job coaching, assistive technology, medical management, and job restructuring, successful RTW is viable option. Physicians must focus on employment outcomes in real jobs and not settle for volunteer work, sheltered work, or assessment and planning. Individuals should be placed in real work for real pay. Through close collaboration between the survivor of TBI, the physician, the vocational specialist, and community resources, successful employment for survivors of TBI is possible and must be prescribed a high value.

“…Keshavan et al [58] conducted much of the initial work on sequelae of psychiatric disorders on acute TBI patients. Although sleep disturbances were not the goal of the study, the authors found that 42 of 66 patients showed symptoms of sleeplessness, 35 showed symptoms of anxiety, and 18 irritability symptoms at a month and a half post injury, while the prevalence dropped to 22 with sleeplessness symptoms, 17 with anxiety symptoms, and 10 with irritability symptoms at three months post injury.…”
