Researching Effective Sleep Treatments (Project REST): a Partner-Assisted intervention to improve adherence in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Insomnia is highly prevalent and predicts many other mental and physical problems. While very good behavioural treatments exist for insomnia, not everyone is able to comply with the difficult behaviour changes required to improve. Bed partners often influence sleep behaviours, and thus, can play a helpful role in the treatment of insomnia, if they are taught how. We will test the first intervention ever developed integrating the partner into insomnia treatment as a means of improving outcomes.
