Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants randomized to BBTI will receive 45- to 60-minute individual intervention session followed by a 30-minute follow-up session 2 weeks later, and 20-minute telephone calls after 1 and 3 weeks. BBTI will focus on four behaviors that promote sleep and discussion of homeostatic and circadian mechanisms of human sleep regulation. These four interventions are simple to conceptualize and implement, and constitute the core of efficacious multi-modal behavioral treatments for insomnia.
participants will be asked to switch their conventional once daily non-diuretic antihypertensive to bedtime
participants will be asked to continue taking their antihypertensive medication within an hour of awakening
