Sleep is important to all individuals and that includes veterans. St. Cloud V.A. Recovery Coordinator Kristen Jurek joined me on WJON. She says 6-8 hours of sleep overnight is recommended. Jurek indicates the St. Cloud V.A. has options to help veterans in need of assistance. She says they offer cognitive behavioral therapy and grief behavioral therapy for insomnia.
