This study aimed to assess the effects of exposure to terrorism on sleep-related experiences in Israeli young adults. Participants were recruited from an earlier study completed during their undergraduate studies in the southern area of Israel. The current study used the two data collection points from the original survey of undergraduates as their baseline assessment and carried out this study as the final follow-up in 2009 after the Operation Oferet Yetzuka/Gaza Massacre/Battle of al-Furqan armed conflict, which took place between December 2008 and January 2009. In the original survey, over 200 participants were included, and at the follow-up, 91 participants completed the survey.
