Sleep quality changes after a life-threatening event regardless of whether a near-death experience (NDE) occurs. In a survey of 154 New Zealanders who had faced a close encounter with death, both those who reported an NDE and those who did not said they slept less, took longer to fall asleep, and experienced more sleep disturbances after the event. No differences in sleep duration, latency, or quality emerged between the two groups, indicating that the life-threatening event itself, rather than the NDE specifically, alters sleep.
