Sleeping For Two: Trial for CBT for Insomnia in Pregnancy

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic intervention that combines cognitive and behavioural principles. Specifically, this therapy provides psychoeducation about thoughts contributing to the maintenance of sleep problems, and instruction in behavioural techniques to help decrease sleep onset latency and promote effective sleep maintenance.

Participants will receive regular obstetric care and will be placed on a wait-list for CBT-I treatment after their final assessment. All activities women try for improving their own sleep problems between assessments will be recorded and coded for.
