Reconnecting with friends and family after a trauma can actually help you sleep better

One side effect of trauma is that people may withdraw in an effort to deal with their tragedy. Experts suggest that re-establishing social connections and getting back into a previous daily routine will help people put the tragedy in perspective. That process of getting on with life can also help to normalize problem sleep caused by the trauma.
