Efficacy of Synchronous, Virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia Across Phases of Cancer Survivorship

The Survivorship Sleep Program is a virtual program based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which teaches evidence based skills to improve sleep-related behaviors, expectations, and environment, to promote relaxation, and to reduce worry. It also involves reducing the time spent in bed in order to improve the quantity and quality of sleep over time. The Survivorship Sleep Program is delivered in 4 weekly sessions by a trained facilitator and includes considerations specific to managing insomnia after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, 1 booster session is offered at week 6.

A sleep hygiene handout and a referral for CBT-I offered through MGH or community partners.
