New study finds that war has a profound and lasting impact on civilian sleep, even among those not directly exposed to combat. Across four large-scale studies, researchers found sharp increases in insomnia, short sleep duration, and reliance on sleep medication among the Israeli population during the 2023–2024 Israel–Hamas war. These sleep disruptions persisted even six months into the conflict, despite a decrease in reported psychological distress—suggesting that the effects on sleep are not just immediate reactions to acute stress, but may represent longer-term consequences of living under sustained threat. The study also identified particularly vulnerable groups, including women and individuals with higher exposure to trauma, who experienced more severe sleep impairments. These findings underscore the importance of recognizing sleep as a critical component of civilian health during times of war and ensuring that it is addressed in both emergency and long-term public health strategies.
