Sleep Difficulties After Loss: Exploring the Beneficial Effect of Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in a Sample of Bereaved Individuals

BBTI is a multi-component intervention consisting of techniques from sleep restriction and stimulus control therapy. It targets behavioral elements of insomnia using four techniques: 1) reduce time in bed, 2) get up at the same time every day, 3) do not go to bed unless sleepy, and 4) do not stay in bed unless asleep.

SHE consists of education on lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, substance use) and enviromental variables (noise, light, temperature) affecting sleep quality.
