Summary
The fragmented sleep, fragmented mind hypothesis links sleep disturbances to dissociative states in people with dissociative traits, supported by neurophysiological theories that altered states of consciousness may arise from disrupted functional interaction among brain modules due to inefficient sleep processes.

Abstract
The fragmented sleep, fragmented mind hypothesis has associated sleep disturbances and dissociative states in subjects with dissociative traits, as supported by neurophysiological theories of consciousness stating that altered states might result from an altered functional interaction among brain modules due to inefficient sleep processes.
