This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a combined therapy program designed specifically for military members and veterans struggling with three interconnected problems: PTSD, nightmares, and insomnia. The study combines cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and nightmares (CBTi+n) with written exposure therapy (WET) — two evidence-based talk therapies — to see if treating them together works better than treating them separately. Researchers want to know if this combined approach can reduce sleep problems, nightmares, and PTSD symptoms more effectively.
Many military members experience PTSD, nightmares, and sleep problems at the same time, and these conditions often make each other worse. Current treatments often address these issues separately, but this trial explores whether tackling all three together with a streamlined program might work faster and better.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups — both receive talk therapy for trauma and sleep, but they differ in how the sleep treatment is delivered. You'll attend therapy sessions over several weeks, learning techniques like writing about your trauma experiences and practicing better sleep habits. The treatment is designed to be faster than traditional therapy, so you may notice changes relatively quickly.
