Sleep spindles are a signature feature of non-REM (NREM) sleep, with demonstrated relationships to sleep maintenance and learning and memory. Because PTSD is characterized by disturbances in sleep maintenance and in stress learning and memory, there is now a growing interest in examining the role of sleep spindles in the neurobiology of PTSD. This review provides an overview of methods for measuring and detecting sleep spindles as they pertain to human PTSD and stress research, presents a critical review of early findings examining sleep spindles in PTSD and stress neurobiology, and proposes several directions for future research. In doing so, this review underscores the extensive heterogeneity in sleep spindle measurement and detection methods, the wide range of spindle features that may be and have been examined, the many persisting unknowns about the clinical and functional relevance of those features, and the problems considering PTSD as a homogeneous group in between-group comparisons. This review also highlights the progress that has been made in this field and underscores the strong rationale for ongoing work in this area. |
