The Effects of Insomnia Treatment on Overnight Regulation of Emotional Memories and Risk for Mental Disorders

The program is composed of weekly online modules that include written information and interactive components such as schematics, images, videos, and questions. The content of the modules follows traditional and validated cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia protocols including sleep education, behavioural strategies (e.g., stimulus control, bedtime retraining, sleep hygiene), cognitive restructuration approaches (e.g., thought reappraisal, imagery, mindfulness), and relaxation practices (progressive muscle relaxation and autogenic training). In addition, further content aims to stabilize and amplify circadian rhythmicity through light exposure in the morning, daytime moderate physical activity, and evening time warm baths. Participants complete daily sleep diaries throughout the intervention.
