Ecological momentary assessment of daily affect, stress, and nightmare reports among combat-exposed veterans.
In contrast to findings found in civilian populations, daytime negative affect and stress during the day were not associated with subsequent TRN occurrences in this Veteran sample. Instead, there was evidence for a cumulative effect of negative affect on TRN occurrence, potentially driven by experiencing TRNs. Therefore, targeting TRNs specifically could have a positive impact on reducing this self-maintaining nightmare cycle.
