A Novel Use of a Sleep Intervention to Target the Emotion Regulation Brain Network to Treat Depression and Anxiety

Participants will meet with a psychologist once a week for six weeks to complete a brief CBT-I intervention. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia consists of a cognitive therapy and a behavioral therapy. The cognitive therapy is designed to identify incorrect ideas about sleep, challenge their validity, and replace them with correct information. This therapy tries to reduce worry, anxiety, and fear that one won't sleep by providing accurate information about sleep. The behavioral therapy increases sleep quality by limiting excessive time spent in bed to increase homeostatic sleep drive and sleep consolidation.
