Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a promising suicide intervention for college students because insomnia is robust risk factor for suicide ideation and CBT-I reduces suicide ideation. Moreover, CBT-I can be self-guided and internet-based, brief, and relatively lower in stigma compared to treatment specifically targeting suicide ideation. However, self-guided, internet-based CBT-I is not brief, and brief CBT-I is neither self-guided nor internet-based. In addition, CBT-I is not usually designed to address the unique experiences of college students. Therefore, this study is a randomized-controlled trial examining the efficacy of Sleep Scholar, a single-session, internet-based insomnia intervention tailored to the needs of college students. The investigators hypothesize that Sleep Scholar will improve insomnia, sleep diary variables (e.g., sleep latency), sleep quality, dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, suicide ideation, depressive, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms over time and compared to a control condition (Building Healthy Habits). The investigators will recruit college students with at least subclinical insomnia symptoms. Participants will complete seven daily pre-treatment sleep diaries and a pre-treatment assessment then be randomized to either Sleep Scholar or Building Healthy Habits, the control single-session, internet-based health intervention condition. After the intervention, participants will complete a post-treatment assessment of acceptability and satisfaction, implement the intervention's strategies, and complete daily sleep diaries for the following four weeks. In addition, participants will complete a one-week and one-month follow-up. If found to be efficacious, Sleep Scholar has the potential to be widely disseminated to college students with insomnia symptoms.
