Researching Effective Sleep Treatments (Project REST)

Study treatment includes partner-assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and consists of 7-8 weekly group therapy sessions of 2 hours each. Partner-assisted CBT-I focuses on altering patients' sleep schedules and changing their behaviors and patterns around sleeping in order to help them sleep in a single block of time overnight. As part of this treatment, participants will be asked to change, possibly reduce, the amount of time spent in bed and to maintain a specific bed time and wake time, as well as other potential changes depending on his/her specific insomnia pattern. This treatment has been shown to be safe and efficacious for a wide range of patients.
