Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will receive 4 weeks of Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI). BBTI consists of two in-person sessions, with the two other sessions conducted via telephone. BBTI emphasizes behavioral elements of insomnia treatment. Treatment begins with sleep education and discussion of the biological rhythms that influence sleep cycles. Next, a series of interventions are employed that are derived from sleep restriction and stimulus control techniques.
Participants will receive 4 weeks of progressive muscle relaxation training (PMRT). PMRT consists of two in-person and two phone sessions. Treatment begins with training on muscle tensing and relaxing, and advances to progressively more efficient tensing-relaxing and passive relaxation exercises. Sessions are employed that teach techniques and problem-solve barriers to the use of PMRT.
