Insomnia is a common sleep problem that impacts both physical and mental health. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia (ACT-I) is proposed as a promising new treatment for insomnia. However, its effectiveness without overlapping behavioral components of the current standard treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, remains largely unknown. The main goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stand-alone ACT-I in adults with insomnia, compared to a waitlist control group. The second goal is to explore the potential working mechanisms of ACT-I, using network intervention analysis. Adults with insomnia will be randomized to an ACT-I or waitlist group. Both the ACT-I treatment and waiting period span 7 weeks. Assessments take place at baseline (pre), after 4 weeks (mid), and after 8 weeks (post), followed by a 3- and 6-month follow-up for the ACT-I group. The main questions this RCT aims to answer are: - Is ACT-I superior to a waitlist control group in improving insomnia severity (primary outcome) in addition to sleep diary measures, anxiety, depression, general mental health, and sleep-related quality of life (secondary outcomes)? - How do networks of insomnia symptoms or potential treatment processes (i.e., psychological (in)flexibility, sleep-related arousal, dysfunctional cognitions, and sleep-related safety behaviors) develop during and following ACT-I?
Rural communities in the southern U.S. suffer a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from cardiometabolic disease, with traditional risk factors explaining only a modest proportion of the excess burden of disease. There is considerable evidence that multiple dimensions of sleep health, including sleep duration, efficiency, timing, and regularity, as well as the disorders sleep apnea and insomnia, affect cardiometabolic disease risk. However, there is currently a lack of systematically developed sleep data in rural populations. The RURAL Sleep Study is an ancillary study to a recently initiated longitudinal epidemiology study in rural Appalachia and Mississippi Delta (the RURAL Study). The RURAL Sleep Study will add measures of sleep health to the complex individual, social and environmental factors and health outcome measures being evaluated by the RURAL Study, by incorporating minimally burdensome measures of multiple dimensions of sleep health. The results are expected to inform health care providers, public health officials, and the general public of the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of impaired sleep health in these rural communities, providing a critical basis for prevention, recognition, and management of sleep disorders and improvement of sleep and cardiometabolic health.
The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of daridorexant on quality of life, work productivity and insomnia symptoms in Canadian adults suffering from insomnia.
The perimenopause is known as a vulnerable period for some women, with noticeable somatic and psychological issues. Aside from climacteric symptoms, insomnia and depression are common. About half of women during the peri-menopausal period experience sleep problems like problems falling asleep, awakening during the night and being unable to return to sleep. This is often attributed to vasomotor symptoms, but this is not the only reason of poor sleep (Joffe et al., 2010). Also, the peri-menopausal period is a critical time for the occurrence of new onset and recurrent depressions (Cohen et al., 2006). It has been suggested that fluctuations in estradiol may increase the risk for depression by altering neuronal functions in the brain. But there are also indications that the risk for depression increases by indirect effects, such as the increase in insomnia. Poor sleep has increasingly been recognized as the key modifiable factor affecting mental issues like depression (Van Someren, 2021). While antidepressants and psychotherapies continue to be the treatments of choice for depression, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for sleep (CBTi) for insomnia, preclinical and clinical data support the benefits of estrogen-based therapies to improve mood, sleep and other menopause-related symptoms (Gordon et al. 2018). Transdermal estradiol patches, which provide a stable release of estradiol and lead to more stable blood levels, have been suggested to have a positive effect on sleep (Joffe et al., 2020) and depressive symptoms (Gordon et al., 2018) in randomized controlled trials. However, it is currently unclear if the relation between improvement in mood and estradiol patches is mediated by improvement in sleep problems, and if the effect of estradiol patches on sleep problems is more effective during peri-menopause than the current evidence-based sleep interventions of CBTi, preferably in combination with Circadian Rhythm Support (CRS). The aim of the study is to pinpoint the determinants of complaints about sleep and mood and how they respond to Menopausal Hormone Treatment (MHT) with and without the addition of a guided eHealth sleep intervention that combines CBTi + CRS. Measurements will be conducted at baseline (T0), 2 months (T1) and 4 months (T3), with questionnaires, sleep measurements (EEG sleepband and actigraph) and skin conductance (to measure hot flushes). Participants will be recruited via www.slaapregister.nl and via OLVG outpatient clinic population of peri-menopausal women seeking help for climacteric complaints (like hot flushes, feeling bloated, increase in weight), including sleep problems. The participants are adults between 40-55 years old, with an Insomnia Severity Index score ≥10 and Climacteric Green Scale score ≥ 13.They have the self-considered capability to complete online questionnaires and diaries in Dutch. The intervention will be MHT (estradiol transdermal patches 50 mcg (Systen), in combination with 200 mg progesterone (Utrogestan tablets for 2 weeks, adjusted to the menstrual cycle to prevent endometrium carcinoma according to the international MHT guidelines), with and without the addition of a guided eHealth sleep intervention that combines CBTi + CRS.
The overall aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of two school-based programs that have the potential to promote adolescent sleep and prevent future depressive symptoms. The programs will be offered to students aged 13-19 at Swedish high schools and upper secondary schools at the classroom level. The students will be compared to teaching as usual (control group).
This study aims to investigate the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) on both sleep patterns and dietary habits in Lebanese adults with insomnia. Sleep patterns and dietary habits are intricately linked, with dysregulated sleep associated with poor diet quality and increased snacking. Conversely, the types of nutrients consumed can affect hormonal balance and circadian rhythm. Insomnia and obesity are interrelated public health concerns, with CBTi showing efficacy in improving sleep. This study will recruit participants with insomnia and randomly assign them to receive either CBTi or basic sleep hygiene education. Baseline assessments will include validated questionnaires about insomnia, dietary habits, and physical activity and a 7-day 24-hour diet recall sheets, as well as actigraphy for sleep parameters, and physical activity assessments. The intervention will last for four weeks, with post-intervention assessments conducted similarly to baseline.
Lay Summary: This study is about the effect of using a unique formula called Sip2Sleep®, a product currently available on the market which is a combination of montmorency tart cherry extract and Venetron® (Apocynum venetum leaf extract) on sleep. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of taking this combination product on various aspects of sleep. This study is being conducted by People Science, and is sponsored by Lakshmi Nutraceuticals, LLC. The information we gather will help inform how people may use Sip2Sleep® to affect the quality of sleep. Participants in this study will complete a number of surveys about their difficulties falling asleep and staying asleep (insomnia), their energy level during the day and health status regarding their quality of sleep. There are no major risks associated with this study.
The proposed study will test the usability and feasibility of a novel cognitive training (COGMUSE) for autistic adults with co-occurring insomnia (COGMUSE- AUT). Participants (n=15) will complete the cognitive training intervention for 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week for 6 weeks at home totaling to 18 hours. Weekly check-ins will be conducted by study staff over Teams to ensure adherence to the treatment and provide an opportunity for qualitative feedback on the game sessions played. During these 6 weeks, participants will fill out daily (2x/day) electronic sleep diaries and wear an actigraph device (GENEActiv). GENEActiv is a watch-like device that monitors light and movement activity.
This project aims to evaluate improvement of insomnia as a mechanism of improvement in alcohol use outcomes.
