INTRODUCTION: This study examined the relationship between head injuries due to intimate partner violence (IPV) and sleep quality among women survivors of IPV. METHOD: Women were recruited from Kentucky courts after receiving protective orders against intimate partners, including women survivors of IPV with no head injury ( RESULTS: Women with IPV-related head injuries reported significantly worse sleep quality ( CONCLUSIONS: Compared to women survivors without head injuries, women with IPV-related head injuries, on average, had 10-minute longer sleep latency, slept 24 minutes less per night, had trouble falling asleep six more times per month, and used sleep medications more often. Further study of sleep quality among women with IPV-related head injuries and interventions to address poor sleep warrant future investigation.
