TI  - Insomnia and motor vehicle accident-related injuries, active component, U.S. 
      Armed Forces, 2007-2016.

AB  - Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in adults, and its incidence is 
      increasing in the U.S. Armed Forces. A potential consequence of insomnia 
      (including medications used to treat it) is increased risk of motor vehicle 
      accidents (MVAs), which cause significant morbidity and mortality in service 
      members. To examine the relationship between insomnia and MVA-related injuries in 
      the U.S. Armed Forces, this retrospective cohort study compared incidence rates 
      of MVA-related injuries from 2007 through 2016 between service members with 
      diagnosed insomnia and an unexposed cohort. After adjustment for multiple 
      covariates, service members with insomnia had more than double the rate of 
      MVA-related injuries, compared to service members without insomnia (adjusted 
      incidence rate ratio: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.95-2.22). A subanalysis of service members 
      with insomnia during 2014-2016 found no difference in risk of MVA-related injury 
      based on days' supply of sleep aid medications prescribed in 365 days following 
      insomnia diagnosis. Insomnia is an important potential risk factor for MVAs in 
      the military. Sleep health should be a component of MVA prevention efforts.
