The name on the model for the USS Brattain was misspelled "Brittain."
The Brattain may be named for U.S. electronics pioneer Walter Brattain, co-inventor of the transistor and co-recipient of the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Ensign Sariel Rager (Lanei Chapman) also made an appearance in the episode "Schisms", a similar horror-based episode also dealing with nightmares and lack of sleep.
